Emergency Preparedness Resource Guide

The new MCOA Emergency Preparedness Resource Guide provides you with an overview of the emergency planning process and basic operations procedures for specific emergency response roles that COAs may perform. In addition, it includes a series of newsletter articles (that can also serve as fact sheets) to help you to integrate personal preparedness information into your COA's overall outreach efforts. The manual also includes information on how individuals can achieve personal preparedness, how to prepare yourself to be a responder, ways of communicating alerts to the community, the importance of developing and using an Emergency Registry to identify individuals in your community who will need additional assistance to respond to emergencies, monitoring programs for ensuring the well-being of those who self-shelter at home, and how to operate a shelter if your COA site is/becomes one.
