Disaster preparedness engages residents, families, and neighborhood leaders in interactive discussion and activities on what it means to be ready for any emergency. 


Being prepared is vital for staying safe and weathering any emergency. We encourage that everyone create and review their disasters or emergency preparedness plans, to build resilient homes, businesses, and communities. It's important to know which disasters could affect you and your family and how to create a plan that considers the unique needs of your family and pets.


There are THREE (3) elements to begin prepared:


  1. Know the Hazards
  2. Build a Kit
  3. Make a Plan 

 We have different ways for you to learn how to be prepared:


  • Online Learning through Videos
  • Group Presentations

Once you've made your plans:


  • Talk to your household
  • Practice your plans with your household
  • Adapt plans to changing needs/events
