Preparedness:2nd Edition

Greetings,

The COMET Program is pleased to announce the publication of "Community
Hurricane Preparedness: 2nd Edition". This 6-hour module is intended
primarily for emergency managers in communities that deal with impacts
from tropical cyclones. In addition to discussing the science behind
hurricanes, their formation, and their hazards, the module provides an
overview of forecast products and tools that emergency managers can use
to help prepare their communities for these threats. The culmination of
the module is a decision-making exercise, based on an actual hurricane,
in which the learner will review information and make decisions at
various stages as a hurricane threatens.

The original module was published in 2000. This 2nd edition provides
updated information on hurricane science and National Weather Service
forecast products. In addition, a new section on Emergency Management
discusses decision-making tools that can help emergency managers in
response and evacuation decision-making during hurricane threats.

comunidad, 2a EdiciĆ³n. You can find the Spanish-language version at:
