The following report discusses disaster preparedness as a function of local government. The report includes guidance on risk assessments, emergency operations planning, first responder training, disaster exercises, public education, and other steps to be taken in anticipation of potential disasters, and includes a separate section on continuity for information technology services. The report is addressed to the “emergency manager” and identifies tasks he or she should perform, provides checklists for planning, gives examples from local government practice, and lists resources to facilitate disaster preparedness.
