Don't Be Scared, Be Prepared
One of the most important steps in preparing for a disaster is to ensure that you are prepared. Make sure your family has made adequate preparations for a disaster event in your community. This includes creating a family disaster kit that will last 72 hours, making an emergency plan, and staying informed.
