Get the family together to discuss and implement a plan for evacuating your home in case of a
disaster.
Disaster comes in many forms, giving little warning of its approach. Bad weather, a major flu
outbreak or a terroristic act can immobilize basic services. As an individual, a community and
a nation, we must prepare to handle whatever comes.
The best way to cope with disaster is to plan ahead. You and your family should have a plan in
place before disaster strikes. The City and its Emergency Preparedness Team have plans for
responding to and recovering from both man-made and natural disasters.
