EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

Disasters can strike quickly and without any warning. They can be frightening, especially for people with disabilities and seniors. The following emergency preparedness guideline will provide you with some useful tips and information to help you prepare yourself in an emergency. In the event of an emergency:

STEP 1: STAY TUNED

Listen to the TV and radio for the latest information. If you are not able to do this, have a friend or neighbor relay the information to you.

 

 

STEP 2: DEVELOP A PERSONAL EMERGENCY PLAN

Consider developing a disaster plan with your household members or neighbors that outline what to do, how to find each other, and how to communicate in an emergency. Identify two places to meet: a place outside your home and another place outside your neighborhood (library, school, place of worship). Practice your plan with all household members.
