Be Prepared

Prepare for emergencies in your community, home, school, or business. Make an emergency plan, build an emergency kit, and be aware of hazards.

Make a plan. Build a Kit. Be Aware.

Make a plan

Your family may not be together when an emergency happens, so knowing what to do, where to go, & how to get in touch with family is important.

Build a kit

Your emergency supply kit should have everything you need to sustain you and your family for 3-5 days. Use a checklist to create your own kit.

Be aware

Learn about the hazards that can affect your community and learn how to get information about current weather and road conditions. 

Family Preparedness

Being prepared for disasters starts at home

Emergencies happen, and sometimes response services can be delayed. Tornadoes, floods, winter storms, and terrorism can strike suddenly. While we can't prevent them, we can prepare.
