Community Preparedness & Safety Tips
1) Be informed: Know what disasters could affect you and your area. Know how to get emergency alerts and where to go if you need to seek shelter or evacuate.
2) Plan Ahead: Put together an emergency plan and get all family members involved. Identify evacuation procedures, shelters, and develop an emergency kit(s) to support your plan. Consider any special needs in your household (medical needs, dietary needs, disabilities, pets, etc.) Don’t forget to practice your plan.
