Emergencies Can Happen Any Time

Emergencies don't just occur when you're prepared for them -- they can happen any time. It's important to be prepared with some basics to ensure that you can properly care for yourself and your family members when the inevitable emergency situation occurs. 

It is important that you and your family be prepared for emergencies and other disasters before they happen. Being prepared ahead of time and well informed about how to best handle a disaster/emergency can help keep you and your family safe. 

Have a Plan

The first step in making sure you’re well prepared for a disaster is to have a discussion with your family about the various disasters that could occur.  Some of the topics you will want to discuss will be your plan to evacuate if needed, what should be included in your emergency kit, and how you will communicate with one another during a disaster if you are separated.  To help you and your family plan for emergencies visit FEMA’s website at ready.gov by clicking here and for help with plans for individuals with disabilities by clicking here
