be prepared for any disaster

Remember the blackouts that hit the Northeast twice in the last 30 years? Remember the massive hurricanes that devastated areas of Florida, Louisiana and the greater New York region. Remember the two major earthquakes that hit northern and southern California as well the uncontrollable fires that have broken out during that state’s drought? They required people to abandon their homes with virtually no notice.

In these situations, some or all transportation may be disrupted and there may be no electricity or any cell service. ATMs often don’t work. You may have had to evacuate from your home and leave behind important documents and personal information.

I am a first responder and I have seen what these events can do to disrupt lives and separate family members. What you’ll learn on this website is how to prepare if such events happen in your community.
