Subject: A disaster can disrupt our lives with little or no notice. Since disasters occur so infrequently, we often fail to give them much thought before they happen. When disaster does strike, citizens may be caught unprepared for the variety of questions which arise about how to protect themselves, their families, and their property. After the emergency is over, they confront additional crucial needs for information. Where can they get help? What assistance is available? This home study course will address these issues and explain the importance of pre-disaster preparedness. It is intended for the general public as well as those in the emergency management community who want to obtain a basic understanding of disaster assistance. It is not the purpose of the course to be an operations manual for disaster assistance programs
