Disaster Preparedness Resources (Lessons from Katrina)

If you weren't able to make it to yesterday's videoconference, Lessons from Katrina, Improving Emergency Preparedness Plans, a lot of the information is available in other formats. The items from LSU closely support the content presented in the presentations, including a free online book. Additional links were recommended by the conference organizers. Notice the UM connection?
