CP Recommendation #1:
One of the primary goals during the disaster management is to reach to the every member to the
community. But not every time it is feasible to reach to the every household by a single
communication method. In this context, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has
stated that there are individual differences in presentation mode between different presentation
method and one is more effective in context to other for some communication method.
Therefore, local authorities like San Antonio Metropolitan Health District (SAMHD) or Bexar
County Community Health Collaborative (BCCHC) should not assume that all the community
members has been provided information related to the disaster and continuing the process of
spreading information about the disaster and what to do during the whole disaster management.
