It's a fact, emergency disasters and other life-threatening events often strike with little or no warning! Are you ready?
Public
safety officials agree that in the event of an emergency disaster, you are likely to be on your own for up to 72-hours
or longer without help! Will you be ready to deal with the
aftermath of a large-scale devastating event? The purpose of this
section is to promote emergency awareness and preparedness for
disasters and other major emergencies that can strike at anytime
with little or no warning, including small-scale
("localized") events that unfold everyday in neighborhoods across
America. No one is safe from nature’s wrath, tragic mishaps, terrorism, crime, and
other dangerous situations, and while it's true that some things are beyond our control, in those times, minimizing the risk to you or your family is the bottom line! Information is key!
Here you will find emergency
preparedness information, tips, ideas, resources galore, and more to help you prepare
and be ready when faced with a life-threatening situation. It's information that can save your life, the only question is.......when disaster
strikes, will you be ready?
