Philadelphia Coordinated Health Care (PCHC) worked with the Philadelphia
Department of Public Health, Office of Emergency Management and Temple
University’s Institute on Disabilities to develop training on Personal
Preparedness. The training is for individuals, families,
caregivers, and agency staff.
The presentation will give tips on getting informed, making a plan,
and making a kit for emergencies. The training will teach you what it
means to “shelter in place” and when to evacuate for safety. You will
learn to be prepared for emergencies at work, at home and in the
community.
