Multimedia, CD-ROM, DVD, Internet, Web Sites and e-mail are all part of a constantly
changing, emerging array of the new information technologies which are being utilized
in public education and are increasingly being applied to emergency planning and
training activities to enhance emergency preparedness. Illustrations are presented
which demonstrate the utility of multimedia, CD-ROM, and Internet applications to
this process. These technologies will be applied to demonstrate how emergency planners
may more effectively accomplish their mission to educate the larger community on
a variety of issues such as the need to adopt proposed mitigation strategies, to
respond to disaster warnings and evacuation suggestions. These technologies will
also be applied to demonstrate how response and recovery information can be readily
disseminated to an impacted area. Applications will also be provided which demonstrate
the utility of these technologies in enhancing training activities for emergency
personnel as well as extending the opportunity for such training beyond the time
and place of the original trainer.
