Standards for Local Civil Preparedness
Standards for Local Civil Preparedness : "During the fiscal year [1973], Standards were developed jointly by local, State, and Federal civil preparedness officials, and were distributed as an aid to local officials for improving their ability to save lives and preserve property in all kinds of disasters. In addition, a Summary of the Standards stressing the 'why' of local civil preparedness was prepared and distributed to local officials. The Standards and Summary were prepared in cooperation with the Council of State Governments, the National Association of Counties, the National League of Cities and U.S. Conference of Mayors, and the International City Management Association".
