Disaster Preparedness:
Emergency Management Cycle
Make sure you and your family are prepared for a disaster. A little time and money now can go a long way if a major event occurs in our area.
You can start your preparation by picking up a few supplies at the grocery store and securing objects in your home (in case there is a strong earthquake). First, get enough water and food for your family and pets. We recommend 1-2 weeks of supplies.
How to start: Get one gallon of water per person per day. For a family of 4, that comes out to 12 gallons minimum (40 gallons would be ideal). You can get water at the grocery store for around $1 per gallon. Get cans and jars of food such as chili, baked beans, tuna, peanut butter, etc. Store your water and food at room temperature (and way from sunlight). Make sure you have a manual can opener.
