Abstract

The American Bar Association has assembled a DVD and course materials, Are You Ready? What Lawyers Need to Know About Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Recovery, to aid state and local government attorneys in preparing for a disaster and recovering in the wake of one. The DVD includes interviews and panel discussions with lawyers and policymakers; the course materials include, in part, articles, a checklist, and a sample incident action plan.

Erratum

In the review of the DVD and report entitled "Are You Ready? What Lawyers Need to Know About Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Recovery" by Alan Cohn, the name of the sponsor of those materials was left out inadvertently. The materials were produced by the American Bar Association (ABA), with grant support from the Public Entity Risk Institute (PERI). The "Are You Ready?" DVD comes with a 98-page soft cover coursebook. The package may be ordered from PERI's bookstore or is available online from the ABA. More details about the products and the URLs for both PERI and the ABA are supplied on the PERI homepage: http://www.riskinstitute.com.
