Disaster preparedness is an essential element for long-term
assurance of the safety and well-being of individuals and families. Why
do you need to be prepared in the event of a disaster? Because it is
possible that no one - including the government - will be able to help
you within the first few hours of a large disaster, or in the case of a
catastrophic event, within the first few days.
Local government has
very limited resources and must deal immediately with the most pressing
needs, which may leave many emergencies unattended to. The message is
this: You and your family may need to fend for yourselves for a period
of time.
In all likelihood, a large disaster in our area would be
earthquake-related, however, being prepared for the unexpected
emergencies - whether caused by man or nature - can reduce the stress
that you may feel now and later, should any emergency arise.
