Disaster can strike quickly and without
warning. It can force you to evacuate your neighborhood or
confine you to your home. What would you do if basic
services--water, gas, electricity or telephones--were cut
off? Local officials and relief workers will be on the scene
after a disaster, but they cannot reach everyone right away.
Knowing what to do to protect yourself and your household is
essential.
There are three key steps to being prepared
for any disaster:
-
Get a Kit
-
Make a Plan
-
Be Informed
By following these three easy steps, you
will ensure that you and your family are on the right track
for being prepared for an emergency or disaster. Follow the
