Preparedness is everyone's job!  And in times of disasters, you have responsibility to safeguard you and your family. During the first few hours or days following a disaster, essential services may not be available and emergency workers may be in short supply.  Depending on the severity, you must be ready to act on your own. If you educate yourself about these potential hazards and learn how to recognize them, you can go a long way toward safeguarding yourself and your family.  But where do you begin?

  1. Identify the hazards that may affect you or your family.
  2. Educate yourself about these hazards; learn how to recognize them.
  3. Conduct a home hazard hunt.
  4. Develop a household safety plan.
  5. Develop a Family Disaster Supplies Kit.
  6. Review the plan with your family and conduct a drill.
