YOYO96 “Prevention through Preparation”

In "Prevention through Preparation," we emphasize the critical first 96 hours following a disaster, a time when communities can shift from being victims to survivors. This initiative aims to empower individuals, families, and neighborhoods in Tulsa to build resilience by equipping them with vital survival skills and resources. We propose utilizing community partnerships and media campaigns to educate and facilitate disaster preparedness, ensuring that aid reaches those in need and chaos is effectively managed, ultimately saving lives and promoting recovery.
