The U.S. Citizen's Corp, a FEMA program, has stated that, "Following a major disaster, first responders who provide fire and medical services will not be able to meet the demand for . . . emergency services they have come to expect at a moment's notice through 911. People will have to rely on each other for help . . . ."

Association leaders and managers must develop disaster plans and put them in place before they're needed so that they're able to cope with any disaster. Failure to plan for disaster is failure to fulfill the fiduciary duty that association leaders share.

Natural disasters pose special threats to clustered, attached, and stacked homes in a community association. Find out how to initiate a preparedness project, work closely with residents to analyze the association's needs, develop a workable plan, and familiarize all residents with its execution.
