Goal 1: Plan for Communication
In an emergency, communication systems may be disrupted for a lengthy period of time. That’s why it’s so important to plan ahead and know other ways to communicate and to receive critical information.
TAKE ACTION:
Start Personal Emergency Plan
Know How to Get Information
Make an Emergency Contact Plan
Goal 2: Secure Your Home
Your home is your shelter. By making it more resilient in the face of all kinds of potential emergencies and disasters, you can help protect your life and your property.
TAKE ACTION:
Do the Basics
Prepare for Utility Interruptions
Brace for Earthquakes
Prepare for Extreme Weather
Harden for Wildfire
Goal 3: Prepare to Evacuate
None of us knows when an emergency could strike. You might not have much time to gather your things (or your wits, for that matter!) That’s why it makes sense to prepare ahead of time and be ready to leave at a moment’s notice.
