*Please note that the DPPO Program does not qualify or train you as a disaster preparedness professional. The Program leverages and customizes publicly available disaster information. That information is coupled with the skills of organizing and the experience of Judith Kolberg to create a logical extension of residential organizing into the area of home disaster preparedness.
