Citizen Preparedness - Are You Prepared?

There are a number of national internet sites that provide important information about preparing for emergencies as individuals, families, communities and businesses.

Because we know that natural and man-made disasters can happen suddenly and at anytime, these sites provide you with information about the importance of planning and preparedness.

They will help you in preparing a family communication plan and developing a ready kit, so that you can take care of yourself and your family during the days immediately following a major disaster.

You will also find information on how to respond to a variety of potential emergencies.

In addition to the national preparedness websites, there is also California-specific, regional, and local internet sites that you can use in planning for emergencies and those links are included below.
