Home Preparedness Information

There are several things you can do to be prepared for an emergency.
Remember that it may be some time before emergency responders can reach
you, depending on the type and scale of the natural or man-made
emergency, or combination of emergencies occurring.

You can be better prepared by doing the following:

Learn What To Do
  • Prepare an emergency supply unit including a first aid kit, flashlight,
    battery operated radio, candles, matches, blankets, extra appropriate
    clothing, prescription medication, other necessary items, bottled
    liquids, and ready-to-eat food.
  • Learn CPR, first aid and life saving techniques.
  • Participate in community and family emergency preparedness planning.

One of the best sources of home preparedness can be found in “Are You
Ready? A Citizens Preparedness Guide”. This document was prepared by the

how to better prepare your family and home for a disaster.
