Be Ready

Steps to prepare for a disaster.

September is Disaster Preparedness month. Every household needs a plan that all family members know for every type of disaster.

Don’t believe the mindset, “It won’t happen to us.” If there’s even a chance of a disaster happening in your area, prepare for it.

Phase 3 — Warmth, Visibility & Connection
Pack these essentials to ensure that you can survive the first hours and days after a disaster.
Phase 4 — Clean Air, First Aid & Personal Hygiene
These items will help you care for yourself and your family after a disaster.
