This book is designed to educate vulnerable communities, emergency
practitioners, and disaster researchers to increase the social and
physical capacity of communities to mitigate and adapt to disaster
impacts. With climate change escalating the intensity and range of
disasters, we have entered an unprecedented time. The tools in this
book allow researchers, practitioners, and community leaders to
adopt new training techniques that are more engaging and effective,
using a bottom-up framework to integrate knowledge, attitude,
preparedness, and skills (K.A.P.S). This book is uniquely designed
to support instructors, researchers, practitioners, and community
leaders in their effort to promote preparedness across marginalized
communities. The book contains a full range of templates,
worksheets, survey questions, background information, and guidance
for carrying out training; the material has been field-validated to
meet research standards. The K.A.P.S. Framework outlined throughout
the book is designed to serve as an adaptable model that national
and international audiences can utilize to better prepare their
communities for disasters due to hurricanes, floods, and tornadoes.
As climate change continues to ravage communities, the K.A.P.S.
training program will prove to be an important tool for community
trainers and academics across a range of hazards and disasters.
