Disasters are a part of everyday life, whether they are
mudslides, burning houses, or losing your keys. However large or
small, when the next disaster strikes, be prepared! There is no
time like the present... Sit down with your family and plan what
you will all do in case there's an earthquake, a fire, or a
blackout. Schedule time to tie down loose objects in the house,
put a first aid kit together, and stock up on water and non-
perishable foods. Agree on a meeting place. Delegate extra
responsibility for those taking care of children and the
elderly. Find out whether your child's school or day care's
disaster emergency plan works. Has there been an emergency drill
recently? Everyone can pitch in. Contribute to emergency
preparedness plans at schools, hospitals, and care centers. Be
prepared--- when the next disaster hits, it won't be disastrous.
When Disaster Strikes... Be Safe, Not Sorry! Where will you go
during an emergency? Where should you all meet after a disaster?
