Emergency Preparedness

imageWhether it’s a natural disaster such as a hurricane or an earthquake, or even a chemical or biological attack, it’s important to prepare yourself and your family in case of emergency.  Find out your area’s plan for evacuation, your public shelter locations, and special protections for people with disabilities.  Develop an emergency plan so that your family stays calm and in communication during a disaster.  You may also want to prepare a disaster supplies kit stocked with important items that can ensure survival.  Knowing what to do in an emergency is the best protection against the disasters that threaten us.  To get answers to all your emergency preparedness questions, visit our list of Recommended Sites.
