Disaster Preparedness

Disaster can strike quickly and without warning. It can force you to evacuate your neighborhood, workplace or school and can 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. Therefore, the best way to make you and your family safer is to be prepared before disaster strikes. Click on a topic below and get started today!
