Summary of Key Points, Issues, Conclusions:
The initial goal of A Network of Hope – A Resource to Help was to create a catalog of best practices. Members of the business community, media, clergy, health and education shared their experiences of the Oklahoma City bombing and compiled a document for studying needs, reactions, and best practices following a major traumatic incident. Memorial staff invested hundreds of hours in studying the rebuilding process from both manmade and natural disasters. The result is a collection of documents addressing Municipality, Business, General Public, Non-Government Response Organizations, Faith Community, Media, and Memorializing, and limited resources regarding Preparedness.
