Emergency Preparedness Toolkit - Follow-up
Days and weeks after a disaster has passed, savvy reporters continue trying to identify follow-up stories. These can range from the relatively obvious -- how well-prepared were the authorities to cope with the disaster? -- to the fairly obscure yet potentially far-reaching -- what happens to public records in the event of an emergency?
Many of the sources for these questions can be found in previous sections of the toolkit. Here are a few extra sites to tempt your curiosity.
