For this week's discussion you will write a newsletter article (5-7 paragraphs) asking for volunteers to participate in the annual testing of the organization's disaster response plan. Your article should explain what an organization level disaster response plan is, why it needs to be tested, and why the efforts of volunteers are needed. This year's disaster response plan testing will be conducted in concert with your city's annual disaster exercise for first responders and emergency response organizations. The disaster scenario will involve loss of all utilities for a period of 36 hours. You may find it helpful to research these types of joint tests using https://www.ready.gov or by searching for "community disaster response exercise".
