Disaster Preparedness

ArMA's Disaster Preparedness and Awareness Task Force has worked with many state and community organizations in a cooperative effort to create a single resource for the practicing Arizona physician. The resource that came about as part of the Task Force's ongoing work is the Disaster Preparedness and Awareness Guide for the Arizona Physician, available by clicking on the icon below. This page features links appropriate for physicians to locate information for medical purposes as well as resources to assist physicians in educating their patients. The links are also featured in the Guide.
