are you ready?

The ability to effectively respond in an emergency relies on risk assessment, situational awareness, planning, and preparedness. We won’t be able to help our community until we are prepared as individuals.  

Why is community preparedness so important? A knowledgeable and prepared community is less likely to panic and more likely to show constructive coping behaviors during an emergency.
