What To Know in an Emergency

The forces of nature can devastate a community, whether tornadoes, storms, blizzards, or wildfires; all of these can create a natural disaster. Other types of disasters can include communicable diseases, terrorist threats or other life-threatening emergencies.

If a disaster occurs, local government and disaster-relief organizations have plans in place to assist citizens. However, these agencies can become overwhelmed during severe disasters and it’s wise for individuals to have a plan to stay safe.

What To Expect During a Disaster

• Interruptions in utility services (electricity, telephone, heat, water supply)
• Explosions, fires and hazardous waste are serious threats to safety
• Civil unrest
• Limited availability, if at all, to purchase food or gasoline
