Natural disasters like fires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, and volcanic eruptions may strike without warning, leaving you confined to your home or workplace or separated from your family.
Other catastrophes, such as heat waves, drought, water shortages, air pollution, food shortages, and highly transmittable infectious diseases, are also disruptive and can be life- threatening.
This publication outlines seven steps you can take to be ready when an emergency strikes including developing your action plan, what should be in your "go bag," examining your home for hazards, and developing an evacuation check list.
