Planning and Preparedness

Emergency Preparedness image showing the corner of a checklist

If an emergency happens in the community, it may take emergency workers some time to reach you. You should be prepared to take care of yourself and your family for a minimum of 72 hours. Learn how quick and easy it is to become better prepared to face a range of emergencies – anytime, anywhere.

Take steps to make sure you and your loved ones are safe before, during and after an emergency or natural disaster. These plans are important for your safety in both natural disasters and man-made disasters.
