Are you Prepared for an Emergency?
In your day-to-day living, disasters may seem a distant possibility. Yet natural
disasters, such as
interface wildfires,
floods,
landslides or
tornadoes; technological or environmental accidents,
such as
chemical spills; or service disruptions, such as
power failures during the
winter or
severe
storms, can strike any community, including ours, at any time. If you're unprepared
for a disaster, it can shatter your life.
Expect the unexpected and plan for it. Knowing what to do when a disaster strikes
will help you better control the situation and be in a position to recover more
quickly. And while the region does have an emergency plan, no community is equipped
to handle all the demands of a catastrophe. Help your community by preparing yourself.
Make sure everyone in your family knows what to do before, during and after an emergency.
