Emergency Preparedness is Everyone’s Responsibility
According to FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency)…..
Disasters disrupt hundreds of thousands of lives every year.
Each disaster has lasting effects, both to people and property.
- If a disaster occurs in your community, local government and disaster-relief
organizations will try to help you, but you need to be ready as well. Local
responders may not be able to reach you immediately, or they may need to focus
their efforts elsewhere
- You should know how to respond to severe weather or any disaster that could
occur in your area—hurricanes, earthquakes, extreme cold, flooding, or
terrorism.
- You should also be ready to be self-sufficient for at least three days. This may
mean providing for your own shelter, first aid, food, water, and sanitation.
