Community
Imperative
Since 1985 the CERT (community emergency response
team) team concepts were in place for all communities to be engaged,
participating and involved in planning, response, and recovery. Since 2004 and before community emergency
plans were in place.
The
opportunities are still here for all communities not only in the U.S. but
globally. Globally
in the U.S., Canada, Caribbean, Central & South America, Mexico, the
nations of Africa, and other communities throughout the world.
The attached document ‘Community Emergency Plan. A
Comprehensive Guide to Disaster Preparedness’ was created under the
predecessor of CDEMA (Caribbean
Disaster Emergency Management Agency), CDERA
(Caribbean Disaster Emergency Response Agency) in collaboration with the United
Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). (https://www.bahamas.gov.bs/wps/wcm/connect/da0c4469-ba35-4ab0-ba36-d4ed371628c1/2005-09-12_community_plan_Emergency.pdf?MOD=AJPERES
)
PLEASE
READ. Use the
planning features.
Pass along even to children.
Can be used as a coloring book.
COVID-19
is your wake-up call for your community.
Plan to incorporate in your community. Communities can consist of 3 to 10
families. Keep your planning manageable
with those you know that are involved in your community during good and prosperous
times in crisis, and will be there long when the disaster\crisis is over. This is a community. A community working together.
Peace. Be
safe, be prepared, stay healthy.
