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 you did not have water, gas,
electricity or telephones after a major
emergency? No matter how well your community
has planned their response to a disaster,
in the event of a large-scale incident,
first response resources may quickly become
overwhelmed. To ensure the safety and
well-being of you and your family, you
should prepare now to take care of your
own basic needs for at least the first
72 hours following a major disaster.
