Are you prepared? National PrepareAthon Day is finally here and now is your time to take action! FEMA is encouraging individuals, families, workplaces, schools, and organizations across the nation to take part in National PrepareAthon! Here’s how…
Extreme weather is occurring more often across the United States, which is increasing the costs of natural disasters. According to a recent survey conducted by FEMA, fewer than half of all Americans have discussed and developed an emergency plan with their household. It’s actually less than that.
Everyone should take these simple steps to prepare for disasters:
– Create a family emergency communication plan
– Sign up for local text alerts and warnings and download weather apps
– Gather important documents and keep them in a safe place, like the GO|STAY|KIT
– Create a 72-hour emergency supply kit
