Preparedness Project Resources

Note for readers: The Project Management in Emergency Management Playbook is a living resource, built from our client work and updated routinely with new lessons. It evolves as we concentrate on the areas most important to advancing emergency management readiness.

Right now, we’re finalizing the “Project Kickoff” articles and will soon turn to expanding the resources in this section.
