When using, <br />the checklists in Section VI, the user deter- <br />mines whether the objectives and tasks are <br />appropriate to the needs of the community. <br /> <br />~, <br />',\ <br />e1 <br /> <br />The checklists provide an abbreviated list- <br />ing of each task and subtask included within <br />the Planning Guidance Section. Separate <br />checklists are provided for use in evaluating <br />existing warning systems and preparedness <br />plans, preparing a detailed plan of study <br />and managing the preparedness planning <br />process.
