Be Prepared

The time to prepare for a disaster is before the disaster happens!

Are you Ready?

Personal and family preparedness could involve the following tasks:

Test your Readiness IQ

Are you ready to leave your home at a moment’s notice? Consider…

• Do you have a Disaster Supply Kit with water, food and medicine in a designated place in your home?
• What about a small kit with emergency supplies in your car?
• Do you have a family communications plan, such as walkie-talkies, in case land and cell phone lines are down?
• Have you practiced or drilled on what to do in an emergency at home?
• Have you and your family agreed upon a specific meeting place in the event you’re evacuated or become separated from friends and family?
• Finally, have you taken first aid training such as CPR in the last five years?
