Disasters and Your Family: Be Prepared
Nobody likes to think about disasters affecting our communities. But whether its wildfires, tornados, hurricanes or other disasters, thinking about it is exactly what we need to do. Preparation makes all the difference; it can literally save lives.
Make a plan today. Your family may not be together if a disaster strikes, so it is important to know which type of disasters could affect your area. Know how you’ll contact one another and reconnect if separated. Establish a family meeting place that’s familiar and easy to find.
To prepare yourself and your family for a disaster, you should: 1) Know Your Risks; 2) Make a Plan; and 3) Take Action. FEMA - Are You Ready guide
Being prepared for disasters is everyone’s job, including YOU. Be creative as you prepare your family to be 2 Weeks Ready. Together, we can build a disaster resilient Washington!
