Against a backdrop of natural disasters that occur each year in the United States and heightened concern about pandemic influenza, there is an emerging national consensus that the best path is an all-hazards approach to disaster preparedness planning and that effective local planning is critical. Military installations and their civilian counterparts-local government and local health-care providers, especially the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs-can strengthen local-level disaster preparedness planning. This report describes the prototype capabilities-based planning tool that RAND developed and the two prototype networking tools that RAND adapted to help local military and civilian planners collaborate in disaster preparedness.Technical report (Rand Corporation)Emergency managementUnited StatesEmergency management363.3480973Moore Melinda863715Moore Melinda863715National Defense Research Institute (U.S.)WaSeSSWaSeSSBOOK9910219976003321Bridging the gap2881364UNINA
