Resources

  • EMSC Committee Meeting Information
  • FEMA P-785 Shelter Field Guide – Created with content contributions from Red Cross, San Francisco, New York, and Missouri Health Departments. The guide is intended to provide organizations without prior disaster experience with a basic overview of shelter operations that will help them to open and manage an emergency shelter. The guide also contains information helpful to organizations that may wish to support the operation of a shelter, such as churches, service clubs, or businesses. The guide refers to an organization acting in this capacity as a “supporting agency.”
