Be Aware of your Local Government’s Emergency or Disaster Plan
One of the important first steps in preparedness is to familiarize yourself with your local community or state emergency/disaster plan.

The Ready.gov from the Department of Homeland Security makes it easy to find resources and information on plans and preparedness in your state. Click here to find your state:
