We cannot stop natural disasters, but we can arm ourselves with knowledge; so many lives wouldn’t have to be lost if there was enough disaster preparedness.
—Petra Nemcova
Hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, and wildfires can be devastating, and you never know when or where the next big disaster is going to hit. That is why disaster preparedness is absolutely essential. Every family needs to have a plan in place, a checklist to follow, and a disaster preparedness kit ready in case the worst happens.
