Buddy L. Sumner
Disaster Services Specialist
FEMA Region 4
I have training from the following government entities and programs.
For more information please click on the on My Training tab above.

Are you familiar with the terms below?





How do these affect you in the event of a disaster?

I can help you understand these terms, and how these and other Federal Protocols and
Standard Operating Procedures will effect you before, during and after a disaster.

In addition to the physical impact on structures and property, Emergencies and Disasters can
have a substantial and sometimes long lasting psychological effect on those living in,
working in or helping in the impacted areas. I can also help with these issues.
