The Extension Agent's Handbook for Emergency Preparedness and
Response can be a valuable response tool in times of emergency or
as an aid in preparedness education activities. The Handbook is
divided into two parts to provide the information you need in an
easy-to-use format. The first section of the Handbook, General
Family Preparedness, provides basic information you may need to
access quickly in any disaster or emergency situation. It also may
be used as a preparedness education tool for the public. The second
section of the Handbook covers 10 disaster specific situations. For
the purposes of this manual, a disaster is any event which
drastically affects a person's life or livelihood. Floods, fires,
hurricanes, tornadoes, winter storms, earthquakes, droughts and
volcanic eruptions are considered to be natural disasters, events
over which one usually has no control. Radiological and hazardous
materials accidents may be caused by the failure of people to
maintain control over the operation, transportation or storage of
certain materials. In addition to an overview of the disaster, each
section provides a series of preparedness measures and
post-disaster responses that should be taken in conjunction with
those outlined in the General Family Preparedness section. This
handbook is not intended to cover every situation. It provides
basic information you will need for a disaster situation and early
post-disaster response. Because every community is different,
special consideration for the local area should be taken into
account along with the information provided in the Handbook.
