The list of disaster preparedness standards is growing longer:
"The Brussels Management Centre of CEN, the European Committee for Standardization, is the site of two meetings today that will lead to creation of a new standard for protecting the populace against natural disasters and terrorist acts. CEN, which develops voluntary standards, was asked by the European Community to address this issue, and it formed CEN BT/WG 161, "Protection and Security of the Citizen," to accomplish the task."
In the United States we have NFPA 1600, and in Canada Z1600 (the Canadian standard based on NFPA 1600). ISO published ISO PAS (Publicly Available Specification) 22399 "Societal Security" late last year, and now this new project originates in Europe.
