Plan Ahead for Disasters

Pandemic

Know the facts about a pandemic. Public Health is everyone’s responsibility.

Prepare for hurricanes now. Know where to go if asked to evacuate quickly and how you and your family will get there.

Drink plenty of water even if you do not feel thirsty. Heat kills by pushing the human body beyond its limits.

If you approach a flooded road or walkway, follow this rule: turn around, don't drown!

Teach kids emergency tips so they know what to do when they are home or away from parents.

If there is a wildfire in the area, be ready to evacuate on short notice.

Find resources on Doing Business with FEMA, How to Help, FAQs, Rumor Control Page and more on FEMA.gov.

Make sure your emergency kit is stocked with the right items.

Be Prepared. Make an emergency plan today and practice it.

Wireless emergency alerts allow officials to provide the public with life-saving information quickly.
