Home Emergency Preparedness

 

Disaster preparedness is no longer the sole concern of earthquake-prone Californians or hurricane victims. For Americans, preparedness must now account for man-made disasters as well as natural ones. Knowing what to do during an emergency is an important part of being prepared and may make all the difference when seconds count.

Some of the things you can do to prepare for the unexpected, such as assembling a supply kit and developing a family communications plan, are the same for both a natural or man-made emergency. With a little planning and common sense, you can be better prepared for the unexpected.
