| In the last few years, there has been a lot of talk about emergency preparedness.
But what does that really mean? Individual preparedness means creating a
plan that will help you and your family know what to do in the event of
an emergency. This can be for a natural disaster, or even a public health
issue like pandemic flu. Planning for an emergency may seem overwhelming,
but it doesn’t have to be. There are basic steps that everyone can
take to prepare. Guests include Suzanne Crowther, Director of the Boston
Public Health Commission's Emergency Preparedness Division, and Dr. Anita
Barry, Director of the Commission's Communicable Disease Control Division.
