respective neighborhoods. These teams, assisted by assigned Boy Scouts
and amateur radio operators, will collect preliminary damage information
in their neighborhoods and report by amateur radio to the EOC. The VIP
teams will conduct search & rescue operations in their neighborhoods as
well as provide emergency utility control, disaster medical attention and
assistance to earthquake victims.
Conclusions
A comprehensive public education program aimed at parents,
grandparents, child-care providers, and teachers has been developed
to teach them basic concepts of disaster preparedness so that children
of all ages can be informed about possible natural hazards which might
occur in their local neighborhoods. If the children understand something
about these hazards, and participate in preparedness planning to obtain
emergency supply kits of food, water, and fi rst-aid supplies, it is hoped that
they will be better prepared if these disasters ever occur.
