Teaching citizens to take
action.
 |
Most people
have no disaster plan at all. They believe that in the event of a disaster, emergency
services will rush to their front door to aid them.
This video proves that is not always, or even
usually, the case.
When a disaster strikes, services may be stretched to
their limit leaving citizens to fend for themselves.
Drawing on the experiences of various
communities, this video helps community leaders teach
citizens that instead of being totally reliant on the
government and emergency services, they can take steps
to empower themselves.
It is easier than they think.
Something as simple as picking up a few extra
bandages or batteries for their disaster kit can go a
long way in surviving the effects of an emergency. With their newly gained disaster prep knowledge they and
their families will feel confident about dealing with
any emergency. |
