| Description: | This report provides a summary of a symposium held by the Morgan State University School of Public Health and Johns Hopkins University which addressed the role of culture in emergency preparedness. The objective of the symposium was to identify the core principles of cultural competence which need to be incorporated into disaster preparedness plans to better meet the needs of vulnerable populations. The symposium addressed this question by investigating what can be learned from the experiences of first responders and disaster survivors. The report presents the symposium findings by providing the reader with lists of the key points made by presenters and excerpts from disaster survivor testimonials. |
