But what are your options in a mobile home? What medicines should you store and what is the best way to do it? Do you buy one or more of those pre-made survival packs or build one yourself? What kind of lighting will you need during a power outage or a major emergency?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are just a few of the dozens and dozens of choices you and your neighbors will be making in forming a community response team for your neighborhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLiving in a mobile home community definitely has its advantages. Neighbors are close and can readily lend a hand. But natural disasters have taken a disproportionate toll on mobile home parks pointing to the necessity of an organized population to cope with the challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFortunately, most parks offer a perfect place for building a strong community preparedness culture. But it does take time and effort. THE WORKBOOK is aimed at SIMPLIFYING that process!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEmergency Preparedness for Mobilehome Communities\u003c\/em\u003e was my first book on the topic. Based on my years of planning experience with emergency preparedness and disaster recovery challenges, it covers many aspects of preparedness, from (1) personal readiness to (2) getting more neighbors involved to (3) actually putting together a written neighborhood plan. Appendices of the book cover threats, recruitment ideas, legal cautions, training options, and emergency communications. Throughout I've listed additional proven resources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile the book has been well received, readers have admitted to me that there was still \u003cem\u003etoo much for them to get their arms around! \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo I wrote a companion - THE WORKBOOK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt follows the same content flow, so you'll want to keep the book close at hand to refer to.
