Apogee Communications Group发布了其屡获殊荣的DVD的更新版本“紧急准备 - 意识和生存”。
The educational program gives important tips and how-to instructions about planning for natural disruptions ranging from power outages, droughts, hurricanes, pandemics, radiation accidents, to manmade incidents such as dirty bombs, and other acts of terrorism. The information is arranged in a user-friendly 16-chapter format, which allows viewers to access accurate preparedness information and find specific preparedness topics easily.
“Many people don’t realize what supplies to store, including food and water, and how to use them during an emergency. Having the supplies stored in your home reduces the stress of running to a grocery store when a major event is threatening to find empty shelves,” said Arthur Levy, who has more than 25 years experience covering major news stories for network television news, as well as being a former firefighter and EMT.
Levy has seen the results of many natural disasters. He has seen the effects of these disruptions on families firsthand. Levy covered hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, earthquakes and many other disasters. During recent wildfires in Colorado, Levy used many of the tips in the DVD to prepare to evacuate his home. When electric power was cut in his area, he was able to listen to the latest information on a radio scanner and was able to eat warm meals using his preparedness supplies.
“The purpose of the program is to show that there are choices in the level of emergency preparedness a family or business can have,” says Levy. “Developing a disaster plan for families and businesses is extremely important.”

Levy建议NOAA所有危险收音机都应在每个房屋中。这些单元在恶劣天气或其他当地紧急情况下每天24小时提供信息。他还强调了为您的家庭或企业准备紧急逃生套件的重要性。
“If you are asked to evacuate your home due to a wildland fire, flood, or chemical spill, an emergency escape kit could hold your valuable papers, computer external hard drive and other items such as a quality water purifier. Knowing how to use the supplies before an emergency occurs is very important,” says Levy.
The program includes information about some of the newest preparedness products available. New on the market are:
可以去除杂质（例如重金属和辐射）的滤水器，以产生纯净的饮用水
Small personal locator beacons for travelers that can bring immediate assistance to lost or injured persons

随着智能手机技术的改进，它们已成为有价值的应急准备工具。可用的应用程序可以使您可以查看现场色彩多普勒雷达，接收NOAA天气公告，收听警察扫描仪，监视现场电视上的新闻事件并与家人进行交流。
“I’m recommending a new, comprehensive readiness DVD, ‘Emergency Preparedness – Awareness and Survival.’ This product is amazing for getting people’s attention,” said Rick Tobin, a well-known Emergency Management Consultant, who has reviewed the DVD.
“This is a tremendous tool to help prepare the public, as well as old hands in the business. I have to admit I learned quite a few new things when I went through this DVD. I recommend a number of books in the field of general readiness, but this is the first general preparedness DVD I’ve promoted in years. The way it organizes the information in segments, so the user can focus on the topics they need at the moment, makes it a user-friendly tool,” he said.
“They put in their heart, soul and personal funding to make this DVD available at a reasonable cost because they come from the responder environment. In my work, if I could pick one multi-media tool to hand to someone in my family, community, my school, my house of faith and my elected officials (so they would be more aware), this would be the resource of choice,” Tobin said.
