In light of the events in Baltimore recently, particularly the criticism of the new mayor, I thought it was worth calling attention to the article that was posted more than a year ago. The advice is still sound.
For those readers who work for local and state government, you might want to try to encourage some efforts to get elected officials informed about emergencies and disasters.

Thanks, Claire. Good piece. Throughout my career, I have been continually amazed at the lack of training leaders receive.
This information is very useful. Thank you very much Diva! ^^
