Organizing for Disaster Preparedness.

The article provides information on organizing a community for disaster preparedness, consideration and planning which should be limited to those natural and accident-caused situations in the U.S. Disasters usually catastrophic in nature, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, fires, explosions, and epidemics. Furthermore, the peculiar connotation of the word disaster makes its use ill-advised in emergencies resulting from enemy action. The need for organizing a community for disaster preparedness is seldom realized fully until after a disaster has struck.
