Emergency Preparedness


This site provides many tips for preventing and surviving the disaster of a fire in your home. But you need to be prepared for other types of disasters as well, such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes and tornadoes. Whether you must shelter in place or evacuate and be away from your home for some time, you should plan and prepare a kit of the supplies you may need, taking into account your family members, pets and any medical conditions or physical limitations that exist.

FEMA’s Emergency Preparedness Materials will get you started with some items to consider for a Basic Family Emergency Supply Kit. Click here to begin building your Basic Family Emergency Supply Kit today.

First Aid Kit

No matter how careful you are and how much you try to prevent injuries, accidents do happen from time to time. Building a home first aid kit to take care of minor injuries will make sure you have what you need. In addition to the basic first aid supplies, make sure you have a list of your prescription medications in case you run out, and consider taking a class in basic first aid and CPR.

Lock up your lighters.
Don’t leave lighters
out in the open.

You don’t have to put
them in a safe to
be safe, but do put
them in hard to reach
places like upper
cabinets or locking
drawers.
