| Abstract |
When a disaster occurs, a community is impacted in many ways. Developing a Family Assistance Center plan and training a community ensures a community is better prepared postdisaster.; Purpose: This project aimed to provide a continuum of care for Tooele County residents to meet the needs of those affected by a disaster.; Methodology: A discussion with Tooele County Emergency Management identified a need to develop a Family Assistance Center plan and provide training to stakeholders in a rural community. A Family Assistance Center plan was implemented, and key stakeholders in Tooele County were instructed to follow a standardized approach to disaster recovery.; Results: Tooele County, Utah, adopted the Family Assistance Center plan. Pre-survey results from training participants indicated (n = 13) a lack of knowledge about the importance of a Family Assistance plan and how it could aid a community's recovery efforts post-disaster. However, after training was provided, 100% of the participants reported (n = 8) adequate knowledge about the significance of a Family Assistance Center plan. Additionally, 100% of the participants said the disaster recovery plan improved their preparedness.; Implications for Practice: Developing a disaster recovery protocol with a Family Assistance Center will ensure that Tooele County, Utah, is prepared. A Family Assistance Center will provide access to services essential to recovery in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. |
