Are You Ready?
One of the defining characteristics of a true disaster is that when you call for help, emergency responders are too overwhelmed to come. When we call 911 on an ordinary day, the people we count on respond. During an earthquake, volcano eruption, or even a flood or snow storm, we don't have enough cops, fire fighters and snow plows to cover all the needs. Personal, family and business preparedness can help you endure the next emergency event, even if you're on your own.
