Emergency Preparedness
Will you be ready if disaster strikes?
Unfortunately, a disaster, natural or manmade, can occur at any time or place with little or no warning. There are some steps you can take to become better prepared to cope with a disaster before it occurs. For example, you can keep an emergency supply kit in your home. What should the kit contain and how should it be used? The answer to these questions and other emergency preparedness related questions can be found on a federal website designed to help everyone become better prepared to survive a disaster.
