Abstract
Disaster has almost become a household word in America and around the world. Disaster Preparedness provides some since of control over the effects of disaster, however small that may be. The National Response Framework provides the structure under which all disasters are managed domesticallly (Veenema, 2013). It is scalable and flexible - having the ability to accomodate any disaster, from the smallest incident to a disaster of national proportions (http://emilms.fema.gov//IS700aNEW/index.htm; http://emilms.fema.gov/IS800Bindex.htm). Preparedness determines the degree of service disruption regardless of the nature of the disaster. The goal of preparedness within any entity is to expect the unexpected, prepare beforehand, and integrate this preparedness within the context of the community disaster plan. Only when this is accomplished will losses be mitigated.
