Disaster Planning, per se, is not new.  Most "baby boomers" can recall the several drills we had to endure as children enrolled in grammar schools across America.  Every school had its fire drills while those in the earthquake or tornado regions held special drills in preparedness for those potential disasters. 

• Weapons of Mass Destruction Training
• All Hazards Risk Planning
• EOC Development and Design
• Assessments
• Plan Review
• Emergency Evacuation Planning

Those charged with responsibility for preparing the nation's business and industrial communities for potential emergencies for all types and scales, should see one of their starting points as education.
