Why Prepare For Disaster
Disaster can strike without warning, forcing you to go for days without basic necessities or to evacuate your home. Relief workers will be on the scene following a disaster, but may not be able to reach you immediately.
You need to be prepared. Knowing the steps to take during a disaster; whether flooding, tornadoes, earthquakes or another crisis; can greatly reduce the danger and distress your family may face. This information will help you and your family plan for a variety of emergency situations, persevere during them and recover afterward.
Familiarize yourself with a variety of hazards and what to do. Even if some are not likely to be a danger in your community, you may encounter them during your travels.
