This project is helping emergency management agencies better prepare communities for emergencies. The project tested a community engagement framework for emergency preparation that will guide and support community engagement activities that will be conducted by agencies.
This project considers the more immediate need for community engagement by emergency end-user/agencies for preparedness, which occurs annually, rather than for resilience, which is longer term and involves cross-government involvement including from outside the emergency management sphere.
