National Preparedness Guidelines

The National Preparedness Guidelines are a set of recommendations that help communities coordinate efforts to prevent, respond to, and recover from emergencies like natural disasters, terrorism, or public health crises. They provide a common framework for government agencies, organizations, and citizens to work together effectively. By establishing clear roles, resources, and procedures, these guidelines ensure that everyone is better prepared, response actions are efficient, and communities can recover more quickly from disruptions. Essentially, they guide how to build resilient communities through planning, training, and cooperation before and during emergencies.
