Following earlier discussions on terminology, I will use disaster to apply to regional event that substantially disrupts much of the infrastructure, with the primary local example being a major earthquake. In contrast, an emergency is a much more limited event, such as flooding, a toxic release, or a large scale police event such as a dangerous person or animal. Because emergencies are limited in both time and area affected, the portions of Training and Logistics dealt with in this document are largely irrelevant: The emergency will be over before these are useful, and unaffected areas nearby can provide the needed skilled manpower and supplies.
