Before an Emergency: Build a Kit and Make a Plan
Local emergencies rarely give us much time to prepare. A severe storm, a fire, or any other unexpected event can suddenly disrupt our environment and the routines we depend on. Without warning, our access to shelter, food, safe water, medications, and transportation can be impaired for extended periods, threatening our well-being. Stay prepared with these steps >
One of the simplest ways to help protect yourself and others from illness is also one of the easiest to overlook: washing your hands.
Regular handwashing with soap and water helps remove germs before they can spread to you, your family, and others. Make this simple healthy habit part of your day.
During an emergency or disaster, looking out for one another can make a real difference. Once you and your family are safe, check on neighbors who may need extra help, including older adults, people with disabilities, or those who live alone.
Emergency preparedness is stronger when neighbors take care of neighbors.
