摘要

近20年来,我一直在做关于家庭应急准备的演讲。我曾与记者交谈过,写过文章,甚至与人合写过一本关于它的书。我开发了在线家庭准备指南。我曾在公共部门、私营部门和非营利组织从事应急准备工作。然而,当一场意想不到的灾难降临时,我毫无准备。尽管就这一主题进行了数十年的讲座,但当今年早些时候COVID-19爆发时,我没有为自己的家人做任何准备:没有防备包,没有水,没有额外的食物。我没有计划。像许多灾难过后的美国人一样,我一直打算建立一个备灾工具箱和应急储备。但就像那个忙得没时间给自己孩子做鞋的鞋匠一样,我花了太多时间告诉别人如何为灾难做准备;没有足够的时间准备自己。2019冠状病毒病继续给我们所有人带来痛苦的教训,让我们认识到,我们对突发事件是多么毫无准备,我们需要做些什么来为未来做好准备。对于像我这样的应急准备专家来说,大流行强调了我们以身作则的重要性。当我们花时间“准备我们所宣扬的”时,我们亲眼看到了所有美国人在这样做时所面临的挑战,并更好地了解如何应对这些挑战。我们还强调我们在家庭、朋友和邻居的圈子中扮演的准备信使的角色。当我还是个孩子的时候,我就开始接触家庭准备了。我的外祖母经历了经济大萧条,我亲眼目睹了他们为做好准备所做的努力。在大萧条时期,她还是个十几岁的少年,成年后她的食品储藏室讲述了一个匮乏的故事。像思嘉·奥哈拉一样,她决心"再也不挨饿"。面对迫在眉睫的饥饿和贫困,她总是在她的食品储藏室里储备数百罐金宝汤和大包装的绿薄荷

COVID-19 Highlights Best Emergency Preparedness Approach: Lead by Example
For nearly 20 years, I have given presentations on family emergency preparedness. I have spoken to reporters, written articles, even co-authored a book about it. I have developed online family preparedness guides. I have worked in emergency preparedness for the public sector, private sector, and for nonprofits. Yet when an unanticipated disaster arrived, I was unprepared. Despite decades of lecturing on the subject, when COVID-19 struck earlier this year I had nothing prepared for my own family: no preparedness kit, no stock of water, no extra food. I had no plan. Like far too many Americans in the wake of disasters, I had always intended to build up a preparedness kit and emergency stock. But like the cobbler who was too busy to make shoes for his own children, I spent too much time telling others how to prepare for a disaster; not enough time preparing myself. COVID-19 continues to teach all of us painful lessons about how unprepared we are for the unexpected and what we need to do to prepare for the future. For emergency preparedness specialists like me, the pandemic underscores how important it is thatwe lead by example.Whenwe take the time to “preparewhatwe preach,” we see firsthand the challenges that all Americans face in doing so themselves and better understand how to address the challenges. We also highlight the role we play as preparedness messengers in our circle of family, friends, and neighbors. My own exposure to family preparedness started when I was a child. I saw the preparedness efforts instilleduponmymaternal grandmotherwho lived through the Great Depression. She was a young teen during the Depression and her pantry as an adult told a story of want.
