Emergency Preparedness

In the midst of rushing through everyday life, it's important to take a minute or two to prepare for emergencies. Being prepared helps you and your family minimize the impact of a disaster such as a winter storm or an emergency such as a broken leg. The best way to make your family and your home safer is to be prepared before disaster strikes. 

Get a Kit

• Prepare or purchase a first aid kit and show each member of the family where it is located and how to use it.
• Have at least one fire extinguisher in your house hold. Don't forget to get your fire extinguisher inspected at least once a year.
• Build a disaster supplies kit that includes enough supplies for each family member for three days. Remember to check your kit every six months.

Make a Plan

• Make a family communications plan that includes an evacuation plan and coordinates with your school, work and community communication plans. Practice this plan with your entire family.

Be Informed

• Know what may happen and how you can help.
• Learn what disasters or emergencies may occur where you live, work and play and how they can affect you, your family and community.
• Identify how authorities will notify you and how you will get important information.
• Take the time to get trained in CPR and basic first aid.
