Preparedness is for everyone - businesses, civic groups, volunteer groups, neighborhood associations, and individual citizens - not just government agencies. Everyone should plan ahead for disaster. Preparedness programs have been developed to educate, promote and test preparedness.
PLAN
Begin with phase 1 – Plan. To develop the plan, we don't need to begin by gathering “stuff” . . . we need to gather data, information, best practices, and other materials that will help us assess and analyze any and all potential threats. This is usually called “Risk Assessment”.
ORGANIZE & EQUIP
Next is phase 2 – Organize & Equip.
TRAIN
