About
This page describes seven ways to make communities better prepared for emergencies. First, a gap analysis can find areas that need improvement. People should ask local officials about hazards and plans. Governments should find new ways to share funds fairly and check how well grants work. Agencies must work together at the federal level for better coordination. Communities should form coalitions between public and private sectors, like hospitals and businesses, to improve readiness. Local fundraising is encouraged for both common emergencies and rare ones like bioterrorism or epidemics. Resources are provided for further learning on emergency preparedness.
