Preferred term

citizen preparedness programs  

Definition

  • Citizen preparedness programs are a pathway to self-sustaining individuals, homes, and communities in the imminence of disaster. While local, state, and federal government agencies may be necessary for disaster relief, they do not have resources to immediately rescue and care for everyone.
