USA: IEMA launches 2011 preparedness campaign


Throughout January 2011, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) will focus on hazard mitigation as part of its 2011 Preparedness Campaign.

“Many people know IEMA for our response efforts following a major disaster,” said IEMA Interim Director Joe Klinger. “But we’re also actively involved in efforts to reduce the impact of future disasters in Illinois. Through the preparedness campaign this month, we hope to increase awareness of hazard mitigation and encourage more communities to implement hazard mitigation actions.”
