Getting yourself, your family and your home ready for emergencies like home fires, power outages and local floods means you’re more prepared for disasters like wildfires, flash flooding, hurricanes and more.We all have responsibilities for our families, pets, neighbors and communities.

Then, make a plan and build an emergency supply kit to help keep yourself and those you love safe and comfortable during and after a disaster. Finally, get involved by keeping up to date with your community’s emergency and disaster plan and working with neighbors to prepare.Does your family know what to do when a disaster strikes?
