Proper Training Helps Communities Bounce Back From Disaster, NOAA Says on FirstNet Blog

The right training for dealing with disasters helps individuals, communities, economies and others better absorb the shock of an emergency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said in a Monday post on FirstNet's blog. That kind of preparedness translates to shorter recovery times and increased resilience, which applies to everything from human health to international emergency response to coastal disasters, NOAA said. Its Office of Response and Restoration recognizes the importance of training and education for preparing local responders to respond effectively to coastal disasters, the agency said.
