Disaster Preparedness

Being prepared for emergencies is crucial at home, school, work and in your community.

Disasters can strike quickly and without warning. Local officials and relief workers will be on the scene after a disaster, but they cannot reach everyone right away. The best way to make you and your family safer is to be prepared before disaster strikes.
