 Public Preparedness

• During September, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the American Red Cross will urge all Americans to take some simple steps to become better prepared for emergencies including:
  • Get a Kit - Get a kit of emergency supplies that will allow you and your family to survive for at least three days in the event an emergency happens. Go to www.ready.gov and www.redcross.org/preparedness or call (866) 797-KOHS for a complete list of recommended supplies.
  • Make a Plan - Plan in advance what you and your family will do in an emergency. Go to www.ready.gov> and www.redcross.org/preparedness or call (866) 797-KOHS for more information and templates to help get you started.
  • Be Informed - Learn more about different threats that could affect your community and appropriate responses to them. Go to www.ready.gov and www.redcross.org/preparedness or call (866) 797-KOHS for more information about natural disasters and potential terrorist threats.
  • Get Involved - After preparing yourself and your family for possible emergencies, take the next step: get training in first aid and emergency response and get involved in preparing your community.
