Journal of Civil Defense 2024, Vol. 59, I-2, Emergency Planning

Planning is Key!

In this issue of the Journal of Civil Defense, we are focusing on the crucial importance of emergency planning. A popular quote by Benjamin Franklin states, “failing to plan is planning to fail”, which captures the essence of preparedness and the potential consequences of neglecting it.

At TACDA we firmly believe that failure is not an option. Thoughtful planning is always worth the effort. Even in disasters of an unprecedented scale, preparation can save lives, minimize suffering, reduce fear, and help protect property.
