Emergency Preparedness Plan
· Emergency health disasters can occur when least expected. As evidenced by the readings, it is important to anticipate and prepare for such events.
· Develop an Emergency Operations Plan, outlining disaster preparedness for Saudi Arabia to deal with flooding. Review flooding in the Jeddah region for a better understanding of the seriousness and causes of the situation.

. Resources Required
. Priorities for Action
. Communication and Dissemination
