Disasters are costly but preparing for them doesn’t have to be.

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

Mass attacks are when assailants use weapons or even a car to cause mass casualties. Take steps to prepare and protect yourself and others.

During a drought, learn to make conserving water a part of your daily life.

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

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

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

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

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