Partnerships in Preparedness: A Compendium of Exemplary Practices in Emergency Management. Volume IV

摘要

Since 1995 the Preparedness Directorate has been producing A Compendium of Exemplary Practices in Emergency Management. The objective of FEMA's Compendium is to share information regarding innovative emergency management programs that have worked well so that these programs can be adopted elsewhere. By disseminating information on exemplary practices that have worked, communities can better prepare themselves to respond to the diversity of natural or man-caused disasters. This volume, No. IV, contains various exemplary practices detailing how some communities have built partnerships and implemented innovative programs to address specific areas of emergency management. It is FEMA's goal that the methods and principles contained in this Compendium be applied in any community across the country to help build a safer and stronger America. By sharing your creative and innovative programs for dissemination through this Compendium to the emergency management community, we can create a network of 'Partners in Preparedness.'
