Emergency Resource Guide http://www.doh.wa.gov/phepr/factsheets.htm Compiled jointly by the Washington Military Department and the Washington State Department of Health, this publication is aimed at educating people on preparation and, where possible, prevention of natural, biological and household emergencies. The easy-to-read resource guide includes information about what to do before, during and after specific emergencies, essential emergency supplies to keep handy, how to prevent the spread of germs and access medications and vaccinations during a public health emergency, and using the 911 system effectively.

Coordinating Office for Terrorism Preparedness & Emergency Response (COTPER) http://emergency.cdc.gov/cotper/ The federal Centers for Disease Control's new COTPER Web site went up in April with the mission of providing strategic direction, coordination, and support for the CDC's terrorism preparedness and emergency response activities. The site is an entry into a wealth of federal emergency preparedness resources, including information on training, preparation and planning, bioterrorism, chemical emergencies, mass casualties and other man-made and natural disasters.
