Fabulous idea ... this is one of the final frontiers preventing this country from being truly prepared: personal and/or family preparedness. Of course, this is a bit self-serving as the city of Seattle wants/needs all these employees to pull multiple 12-hour shifts in the Emergency Operations Center (for example) during an emergency week ... but it is a necessary evil as local government has been poised as the first line of defense.

Mayor Greg Nickels announced Thursday that Seattle Office of Emergency Management has been awarded the Technology and Innovation Award by the International Association of Emergency Management for developing a web-based personal preparedness training program for city employees.
The Web-based training is designed to educate employees on the importance of being personally prepared at home so that they can continue serving the people of Seattle by providing critical services during an emergency.
