Be Prepared: Emergency & Disaster Preparedness
Emergencies don’t always give us much warning. A little preparation today can make it easier to respond when the unexpected arrives.
Emergency preparedness means thinking ahead about what you, your family and your pets might need during events such as wildfires, floods, earthquakes, severe weather, power outages and other emergencies.
September is National Preparedness Month, making it an excellent time to review your plans, check emergency supplies and make sure everyone in your household knows what to do if an emergency occurs. Preparedness, however, is useful every month of the year.
Start With the Basics
Being prepared doesn’t mean anticipating every possible disaster. Start with practical steps:
Know which emergencies are most likely where you live.
Make a household emergency plan.
Prepare an emergency survival kit.
Keep essential medications and important information accessible.
Learn basic first aid.
Include babies, older adults, people with disabilities and anyone with additional support needs in your planning.
Make an emergency plan and disaster kit for your pets.
Review and replace supplies regularly.
Below you’ll find trusted resources to help you build an emergency kit, learn first aid, prepare your pets and make practical plans for emergencies and natural disasters.
