Be Prepared!
Disaster can strike quickly
and without warning. It can force you to evacuate
your neighborhood or confine you to your home. What
would you do if basic services--water, gas,
electricity or telephones--were cut off? Local
officials and relief workers will be on the scene
after a disaster, but they cannot reach everyone
right away. Therefore, the best way to make your
family and your home safer is to be prepared before
disaster strikes.
