At a seminar held Feb. 22, at Clearfield High, state and local Emergency Preparedness committee members, John Zippro, Toos Pluim, Vickie Steenblick, Marreen Casper and Elaine Butterfield, presented a Disaster Preparedness program 'devised by a panel of experts. The program is designed to educate schools and the general public on how to prepare in ad-vance for a major or minor disaster. When last years slides and floods struck without notice, cities tried to wing it on their own, said Davis county civil defense director John Zippro. This year we plarf to be orga-- , nized before disaster strikes. According to Zippro, the Emergency Prepardness plan has been adopted.by alL cities in Davis County.. The plan calls for the formation of committees to handle each area of emergency help: Each city would be divided into districts and each district into areas. There will be coordinators assigned to each district and area. City command posts will be set up with committee representatives from the police and fire departments, public works, churches, community emergency preparedness coordinators and human resource experts to han dle special skills people. guide to the plan and emergency information has been inserted in all South Davis telephone directories and a guide for North Davis communities will be in the directory the first of June. Packets with training information and emergency guides are being donated by Carr Printing Co. of Bountiful to distribute to district and area coordinators. PTA committee member Vickie Steenblick explained the program to seminar attendants. The school evacuation program will be similar to the community plan with students being divided into groups according to districts and areas where children live. The PTA would like to get all school emergency plans organized now before a disaster strikes, stated Steenblick.

The school emergency preparedness plan includes training principals, and faculty,,, PTA , members, parents and evacuation center managers.

Manuals such as Plan to live, and What to do. until the ambulance arrives will be incorporated into school curriculums on elementary, secondary and High school levels. The schools will i then hold drills to make sure plans work and iron out any There's no place like home. And to many patients who are homebound, there's nothing like Home Care.
