Some
of the things you can do to prepare for the unexpected, such as
making an emergency supply kit and developing a family communications
plan, are the same for both a natural or man-made emergency.
However, there are important differences among potential
emergencies that will impact the decisions you make and the actions
you take. Learn more about the potential emergencies that could
happen where you live and the appropriate way to respond to them.
In addition, learn about the emergency plans that
have been established in your area by your state and local government.
Emergency preparedness is no longer the sole concern
of earthquake prone Californians and those who live in the part
of the country known as "Tornado Alley." For Americans,
preparedness must now account for man-made disasters as well as
natural ones. Knowing what to do during an emergency is an important
part of being prepared and may make all the difference when seconds
count.
