Community Service

In community-wide emergencies, business and industry are often needed to assist the community with:

· Personnel
· Equipment
· Shelter
· Training
· Storage
· Feeding facilities
· EOC facilities
· Food, clothing, building materials
· Funding
· Transportation

While there is no way to predict what demands will be placed on your company's resources, give some thought to how the community's needs might influence your corporate responsibilities in an emergency. Also, consider the opportunities for community service before an emergency occurs.
