2Resilience: A Resource-full Site

Earlier this morning in another blog I mentioned a twitter post by Carol Dunn, who is a preparedness educator and an Emergency Management Professional living on the West coast of the United States.  

 

Many who follow @Caroldn on Twitter find her dedication and enthusiasm on preparedness issues to be quite contagious.  And if your interests lie in that direction I’d certainly recommend you include her feed.

 

But you would also do well to check out her recently remodeled, upgraded, resource-filled 2Resillience.org website.

Although I’ve mentioned it in passing before, and have kept a link to it in my sidebar, I’ve been remiss in not calling greater attention to this ongoing project.

 

The site is geared towards those hazards one is likely to encounter in and around Puget Sound, Washington  - although much of this information is applicable to disaster preparedness in many other regions as well.

 

Earthquakes, fires, landslides, floods, and severe storms to name a few.

 

Here you’ll find literally hundreds of links to disaster-related resources on the web, including preparedness guides, videos, podcasts, toolkits, and even games (preparedness is, after all, for the entire family).

 

There are Puget sound specific resources, like hazard maps, and local disaster resources, as well.

 

You’ll find numerous resources geared for professional first responders, citizen volunteers, and families, individuals, and businesses looking to improve their level of knowledge and preparedness.

 

Maintaining a project like 2Resilience, as you might imagine, is an enormous undertaking.  And since most of the content is stored on other websites, sometimes documents get moved or deleted.

 

If you hit an old, bad, or outdated link there are likely a dozen others on the same topic for you to move on to.

 

 

Due to the multi-cultural nature of her community and the greater Internet, Carol has worked hard to provide multi-lingual access tools to much of this content.

 

My advice to you is to pack a lunch when you visit resource rich 2Resilience.org.

 

You’ll likely want to spend a long time exploring.
