Federally identified as the "most vulnerable citizens in the nation" to the destructive effects of disaster and emergencies, cultural citizens across the nation and world are more vulnerable today to the catastrophic effects of disasters than ever before in history. But why do cultural citizens, organizations, and institutions of faith ignore and turn blind eyes to the practice of effectively preparing and planning for disasters and emergencies? Written in an urban "straight with no chaser," unrestricted style, What Will It Take reveals cultural and internal barriers and introduces to readers cultural systematic solutions. A must-read for those interested in/or working with cultural organizations.
