Join the community in planning for all forms of emergencies and disasters, as well as leading campaigns to inspire others to be more prepared. "Disasters" strike, wreaking havoc not just on individuals and towns, but also on whole communities. Discover how to be well-prepared.

Create a strategy and practice it. Do you have a plan for evacuating and sheltering in place? Do you have a strategy in place to stay in touch with your family before, after, and after an incident? Do you have a preparedness kit? Make sure the entire family is aware of your emergency plan and has followed it. To stay updated, sign up for local updates and warnings, as well as download other appropriate applications.

Learn how to save a life. Do you or a member of your family know how to perform CPR? Is it possible for you to shut off your natural gas if necessary? Do you know how to get to safety in the event of a disaster? Knowing these life-saving skills could mean the difference between life and death for you, your family, or your neighbors in an emergency.
