Are YOU ready?

You need to have a plan ! 

No one wants a tragedy to happen in their community but you may need to survive on your own after a disaster. This means having your own food, water, and other supplies in sufficient quantity to last for at least three days. Basic services such as electricity, gas, water, sewage treatment, and telephones may be cut off for days, or even a week or longer. You may have to evacuate at a moment’s notice and take essentials with you. You probably will not have the opportunity to shop or search for the supplies you need.


Determine what items you have on hand and in what quantities.

After doing an inventory, start tackling your shopping lists.

Develope your personal emergency plan.

Make sure you’ll be ready whether at home, work, or on the road.

Don't forget about the family pets!
