Be prepared.

How well is your family prepared for such potential disasters and emergencies as a hurricane, earthquake, flood, widespread power outage, terrorist attack, or flu pandemic? Disasters usually strike with little or no warning. There won’t be much time to prepare yourself and your family after something happens.
Take some time to read about what the Red Cross, FEMA, and Centers for Disease Control recommend you do to prepare your family for various kinds of potential disasters. Then follow through and create a family disaster plan. |
