EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
As a part of your emergency planning process, plan to stay informed. Tune into local news broadcasts via radio or television before, during, and after emergencies to be sure you’re getting the most up to date information.

Do you have emergency plans for yourself, family members, and pets? If not, now is the perfect time to look for resources and create those emergency plans!
Ready.gov, provides excellent resources for planning ahead and provides fillable forms for quick and easy planning.
One of the most critical steps you can take to sustain yourself and your family during a disaster is to create an emergency kit before the disaster strikes. An emergency kit contains essential items needed during an emergency to sustain yourself and your family. These items are crucial if you are asked to stay home or shelter in place.
