The book contains a full range of templates, worksheets, survey questions, background information, and guidance for carrying out training,áthe material has been field-validated to meet research standards.The K.A.P.S.áFramework outlined throughout the bookáis designed to serve as an adaptable model that national and international audiences can utilize to better prepare their communities for disastersádue to hurricanes, floods, and tornadoes.
