Recovery 21
23. Remember …… When a disaster occurs, one of the primary resources needed to ensure a rapid response and to begin recovery operations is fuel. Whether it is law enforcement, search and rescue teams, public works / utility restoration crews, or other emergency officials; without the fuel to operate the equipment needed to reach those in danger, and/or to start the repair/rebuild and recovery processes, the effects of a disaster are magnified. 22
