| Description: | The Chinatown Disaster Project is one in a series of projects put forth by NICOS. The project aims at training Chinatown residents to prepare for independent survival in the first 72 hours following a disaster. Not only does it provide disaster response training for the residents, but it also outlines the systematic coordination between community organizations and volunteer workers. Annual training classes and drills mobilize Chinatown’s effort in community-based disaster preparation. The Chinatown Disaster Preparedness Committee was established after the Loma Prieta Earthquake more than ten years ago. With a membership consisting of public and private organizations, the Committee is dedicated to providing culturally competent resources for disaster preparedness that suit Chinatown's specific language needs. |
