Be Informed

Step 3 in disaster preparedness is: Be Informed!  Here again, Ready America from Ready.gov includes information about many, many emergencies that we might face. As they say, "There are important differences among potential emergencies that will impact the decisions you make and the actions you take. Learn more about the potential emergencies that could happen where you live and the appropriate way to respond to them."  So, whether it's earthquakes, fires, or floods that concern you, this site has information that will help. And if you have special needs, there are pamphlets for elders,  pet owners, and persons with disabilities.  Hope this helps!
