Emergency Preparedness Advice

Red Cross disaster planning Preparations include shelters in communities country-wide. The American Red Cross has established emergency disaster plans which include providing shelters in virtually every community in the country. They advise families and individuals to plan on being self-sufficient for at least 72-hours. There are over 1,300 local Red Cross chapters throughout the United States with over 1.3 million volunteers ready to go into action to provide mass care services in the event of any disaste.

The American Red Cross and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are both recommending the American public prepare for natural disasters by stocking up on extra supplies. The Red Cross (according to this article) recommends a one-week supply. Most people taking action on preparedness are working on a 30-day, 60-day or 90-day supply. Across the nation FEMA is geared up and appears ready for most emergencies.

"Natural disasters are not a joke – they are a serious problem, and those who prepare for all possibilities stand the best chance of being out of harms way. Blackouts in California are a regular occurance and have occurred unexpectedly in many other areas. Join the Americans who are preparing now, then rest easy if and when disaster strikes."

We think that moderate preparedness  is a wise choice.
