Emergency Guidelines
Disasters and emergencies that impact large areas can develop quickly or may be preceded by a waiting period that provides time to implement protective measures. For example, a tonado can strike without warning whereas the path of a hurricane can be tracked for days and people in probable danger areas are notified before the storm strikes land.
Individuals and families can prepare for any type of emergency using the guidance offered in this library as a foundation. Your survival depends on your actions and preparations.
