The Burn Surge Disaster Program is about identifying your assets and resources, and both quantifying and qualifying your needs.  The gap between what you have and what you need is what we must work to address.  The key to success is driven by our need to be prepared through planning, and deliberate actions to improve, develop resources and develop a sense of readiness based on the gap analysis.

It is easier to accomplish what you have set out to do if you are prepared for the obstacles you will face.

Keys to preparedness include asking tough questions, taking decisive action in a deliberate yet immediate way, and meeting the needs for the health, safety and security for the citizens of our state and our country.
