"...the most common mistake is people don’t prepare; they think someone is going to take care of them in an emergency crisis."

"...the bottom line is the American public needs to get back to the philosophy of taking care of itself for the first 72 hours ..."

As a result of the widespread devastation the Gulf Coast experienced from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, Louisiana Public Broadcasting (LPB) realized that the general public needs readily accessible information about how to prepare for and cope with natural disasters.

To that end, LPB requested and received a Fire Prevention and Safety grant from the Department of Homeland Security to develop and produce a two part video series hosted by noted actor Eric Estrada, entitled “Situation: Disaster,” to provide emergency preparedness information about a wide variety of natural disasters, from hurricanes and tornados, to severe thunderstorms and winter storms, to earthquakes, wild fires and floods.

In an effort to reach the widest audience possible with practical tips on what to do before a natural disaster occurs and how to cope immediately afterwards, “Situation: Disaster” was produced in both English and Spanish, and will be available in DVD format beginning in July 2007.
