This white paper provides the specific education context for
disaster prevention and recovery. Unlike processes developed
for other industries, ESP’s has been highly customized to
account for the governance, administrative, instructional, and
public nature of the education arena.
Provide this white paper to key decision makers as part of the
leadership awareness and support building processes. Having
the same vocabulary and focus for disaster prevention and
recovery will be a tremendous help when aligning resources.
