Resources for Emergencies
Is Your Household Ready?
Emergencies can occur anytime, anywhere and you may not have much time to react. Therefore, it is best to plan ahead so you and your family appropriately respond to emergencies.
Plan ahead and stock a Household Emergency Supply Kit with food/water, first aid supplies, household items, emergency equipment, important documents, etc, with this important document. For a fact sheet to help you create a Three Day Emergency Supply Kit click here.
This Planning for Weather-Related Emergencies Guide will provide recommendations for food and water safety before, during and after emergencies.
