I’m taking Disaster N Emergency Studies at BU and was wondering if anyone has followed any of the recommendations given in the 72 hour campaign.
The 72 hour campaign was to advice the public to be ready to take care of them self for 72 hours after a disaster/impact such as flood, storm damage, even tornados. Some recommendations were to store canned food, water, change of clothing etc…
There have been others campaigns and some that have targeted Brandon like BEST.
Or has anyone done any kind of disaster preparation? Do you take seriously the possibility of impacts from Tornados, floods or train derailment causing chemical spill? Or do you feel like this will never happen to me/us/Brandon.
And I guess the most important question is, every one is different so the way they take in messages are different, what would it take to make you prepare yourself. For example some people will be persuaded to take action by TV campaigns: others will want a community leader to endorse the campaign and so on...
thanks
