WORKING TOGETHER: "The wise man built his house upon a rock....the rain and floods came, the winds blew....but the house stood firm, for it was built upon a rock. The foolish man built his house upon the sand......the rain and floods came, the winds blew....and great was the loss!" This parable is about building strong foundations. Likewise, the DISASTER RESOURCE GUIDE is about helping companies, institutions, communities, and families preserve and protect those things that are most important– people...property...jobs...business assets...community. If these concerns are your concerns.....this GUIDE is for you. Our mission is to consolidate and communicate thousands of resources into an annual reference that can be useful on a daily basis. Our job has been made easier by a growing corporate and government commitment to "work together" to ensure continuity of our corporations and communities. TODAY WE SEE… • An increase in the number of grassroots contingency/emergency planning groups who are eager to "share the wealth" of their knowledge, training and experience. • The formation of public and private partnerships—relationships forged because of a shared belief that, by "working together", communities can lessen the impact of disasters. WORKING TOGETHER… Planning and Management Let us know how we can better serve you, and by the way….when you call our advertisers for information about products and services, be sure to say, "I saw you in the GUIDE!" |
