NPM11: Disaster Preparedness Videos

Note: Today is day 11 of National Preparedness Month and ten years to the day since the horrific attack on 9/11/2001 – an indelible reminder that not all disasters are due to natural causes.

It is this observance that has led to the adoption of `A Time to Remember, A Time to Prepare’ as the key message for NPM11.

This month, as part of NPM11, I’ll be rerunning some edited and updated older preparedness essays, along with some new ones.

The University of California has produced a series of disaster and preparedness videos which are available on their Youtube channel UCtelevision.

While I’ve highlighted most of these videos in the past, today I’ve added a couple of new ones; Disaster Plan and Home Preparedness in Earthquake Country.

I’ve watched most of these, and they are Highly recommended.
