Disaster Planning
There is a lot to think about…
Disasters, both natural and human-made, can occur at any time and have been increasing in frequency and number of victims. Planning and practicing for these events is a key factor for a favorable response. Since the 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, there has been an improvement in disaster preparedness and recognition of the importance of including public health and health care professionals in the planning process. Our classes include the four phases of comprehensive emergency management: mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery.
Understand…
You will have to commit yourself and those in your household need to be somewhat committed as well for any plan to work effectively.
Starting A Plan
Your family may not be together if a disaster strikes, so it is important to know what to do when disaster strikes.
Practice Your Plan
Your plan is the backbone of your preparedness and it needs to be fluid and simplified so all members of your family/team can utilize it.
Reevaluate Your Plan
Find the flaws as you practice your plan. You will be able to correct them before a disaster strikes.
Your Commitment
Ensure that your family/team will have the knowledge to survive in the event of a disaster!
