Emergency Preparedness
Emergency Preparedness
According to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) roughly 60% of Americans don’t have a disaster relief plan in place – even though a sudden emergency or disaster can happen at any time. With annual wildfires sweeping the western part of the United Sates, all of us should consider what we would do if a natural disaster hit our city or hometown.
An emergency preparedness plan won’t look the same for everyone. You know your families’ particular needs and it is wise to make an emergency preparedness checklist for everyone in your household including pets. The link below will help you make a plan so you can better handle if disaster strikes.
