Lesson 4: The American Emergency Planning System & Taking Action _review

EM stands in front of a community meeting. About 20 people sit in a meeting room, wearing face masks.

It may not look like it but the people in this room are socially distanced. There is an American Sign Language (ASL) Interpreter in this room to sign for anyone who needs it.
