Disaster
can strike quickly and without
warning. It can force you to
evacuate your neighborhood or
confine you to your home. What would
you do if basic services--water,
gas, electricity or telephones--were
cut off? Local officials and relief
workers will be on the scene after a
disaster, but they cannot reach
everyone right away. Therefore, the
best way to make your family and
your home safer is to be prepared
before disaster strikes.
