April 20, 2023 is the Great Utah Shake Out! https://www.shakeout.org/utah/
Let's take this opportunity to learn about emergencies. The best thing you can do is to prepare
yourself, and become educated in disasters. Then you can help your organization to better
prepare. Here is some information that you could share with your supervisor and co-workers to
improve your organization's preparedness. To start with, choose one thing for your
organization to do during April:
1. Talk about the importance of preparedness in a staff meeting
2. Watch (or send a link to your staff) about any of the videos listed below.
3. Create a Planning Team to evaluate the current plans of your organization. (more details
listed below under "15 Points of Business Continuity Planning)
4. Set aside an hour or so during April to evaluate how prepared your organization is, and
what the next step should be.
Even if you do just a little to improve, that is progress!
Here is more information to prepare for emergencies:
