TextLanguage: ENG Publication details: 1988Description: 20p., 1 figSubject: The preliminary results of a survey designed to asses the state of emergency preparedness in communities across the United States aid in the development of a conceptual approach to emergency managment. The approach identifies the relationships among existing emergency-management systems and practices and assesses their effectiveness in alerting and notifying the public. A comparison of data gleaned from a survey of emergency preparedness officials permits comparison of existing public-alert and notification systems and state-of-the-art technology, procedures, and management systems. The study also addresses the potential problems and constraints likely to thwart timely effective warning in the advent of an emergency. Recommendations are made for improving public-alert and notification systems in chemical emergencies.
