Safety Tips - Disaster Preparedness

Be Prepared!

You can prepare for emergencies or disasters before they happen. The 72-Hour Kit (PDF) is one tool for ensuring you are prepared if one happens to you or your family. The American Red Cross and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are just a few sites with a wealth of information on disaster preparedness. 

Response agencies sometimes have difficulty providing immediate help to the public during a major disaster. Therefore, it is important for individuals to prepare themselves and their families.
