Keasler Witt reviews three varying perspectives on disaster management preparedness at the government, business, and community levels. Narratives from individuals with backgrounds working at each level were used to illustrate how disaster preparedness is achieved through planning, communication, and collaboration.
In the brief, Keasler explains the role and responsibilities of each level in the event of a disaster. The individuals should be informed ahead of time how to protect themselves and how to access disaster relief resources. Business owners should equip themselves with plans and drills, which ready them to address possible scenarios that may arise in times of crisis. Government officials should be prepared to notify all inhabitants when a disaster takes place, and prepare itself to manage the city under emergency conditions.
