Emergency Preparedness Goes Grassroots - City Limits Magazine - CityLimits.org

Emergency Preparedness Goes Grassroots - City Limits Magazine - CityLimits.org: "Midtown — If New York City faces another catastrophe on the scale of September 11, city residents now are more prepared for the aftermath. The question is: Are our primary care health centers, churches, businesses and other community institutions charged with taking care of us?

On June 2, that question brought together a spirited group of 36 community leaders and professionals living, working in or representing Manhattan's Community District 5, which roughly encompasses the area south of Central Park between Lexington Avenue and 8th Ave from Columbus Circle to Union Square. During a six-hour meeting, the group drafted a plan--one of only five district-level plans that have been crafted in the city-- to enhance the area's emergency preparedness by coordinating the sharing of medicines, health professionals and other resources."
