by Vincent B. Davis (Author)

Lost and Turned Out represents a unique opportunity for us to re-define clear roles and responsibilities when it comes to disaster preparedness. It challenges our institutions; the faith-based community, emergency managers, politicians, community leaders, and individuals and families, to "get real" about their disaster preparedness efforts. In this book, I explore the reasons why underserved communities are so unprepared, examine solutions to bridge the preparedness gap, and apply practical principles in an effort to save lives. Rather than creating a "wish list" of what others should do, Lost and Turned Out focuses on what underserved communities can do to help themselves survive disasters.
