Synopsis

When first responders and emergency personnel leave the scene of a disaster, the survivors often make ill-informed decisions that can have serious long term effects. The Red Guide to Recovery was created to assist the disaster survivor by making available a single source of pertinent, easy to read disaster recovery information that will walk them step-by-step through the recovery process while raising awareness of the many pitfalls that may present themselves in post disaster scenarios. This award winning book can also be used for training on disaster preparedness, business continuity, contingency planning, and complement any disaster preparedness kit. The thought here is that if people understand what is involved in the recovery process, they will be more resilient and better prepared in the event of a disaster. In addition to a 10-Point Quick Start checklist for the first 24 hours of recovery, the guide includes detailed chapters on these Emergency services to secure and protect property; Displacement and relocation tips; Disaster relief and financial assistance; Homeowners insurance issues after a loss; Personal property considerations; Smoke and water damage information; Estimating repair costs to structural damages; Selecting a qualified contractor; Public insurance adjuster services; Hazardous material concerns; Safety and precautions after a disaster; Trauma intervention and grief counseling; and Avoiding Disaster Scams.
