PREPARE YOUR KIT
Make sure your home has enough supplies to keep you self‑sufficient for at least 72 hours. In addition, prepare a “Ready to Go” kit (Page 8 ) with the essentials and important information you will need if you must evacuate quickly. You should also have a Pet Emergency Kit (Page 9) for your animals, and ensure your vehicle is equipped with a Car Survival Kit (Page 9 ) in case you become stranded or need to travel a long distance during an emergency.
KNOW YOUR HAZARDS
Make a list of the hazards that could affect you, your family, and your home. Contact your local Community Emergency Management Coordinator (CEMC) to learn about the top risks in your area. Once you know the hazards, take steps to prevent, mitigate, and prepare for them. Understanding your risks - and planning ahead - will help your family stay safe, confident, and calm during an emergency.
