Fixing the fatal flaw in emergency planning.

摘要

Meetings at four demonstration sites were held in places where all of the participants felt safe and comfortable. All of their contributions were valued — and treated as valuable. Complete records were kept of what was said, and ideas were compiled and shared; no ideas were eliminated or reinterpreted. Together, participants identified both potential problems and ways to address them.Out of this process, the groups created practical "issue sets" tailored for households, workplaces, schools and governments.3 They also created a manual for the engagement process to offer other communities a way to develop effective plans for the emergencies that are most likely to occur in their areas.
