FEMA – Are you ready? Guide
Created by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Are You Ready? guide has been prepared for direct dissemination to the general public and is based on the most reliable hazard awareness and emergency education information available at the time of publication, including advances in scientific knowledge, more accurate technical language, and the latest physical research on what happens in disasters.
While not meant to cover every factor, situation, or difference in buildings, infrastructure, or other environmental features that might be of interest, it is useful in helping you explore your interest further and additional sources of information have been included.
The guide has been designed to help citizens learn how to protect themselves and their families against all types of hazards and can be used as a reference source or as a step-by-step manual. The focus of the content is on how to develop, practice, and maintain emergency plans that reflect what must be done before, during, and after a disaster to protect people and their property. Also included is information on how to assemble a disaster supplies kit that contains the food, water, and other supplies in sufficient quantity for individuals and their families to survive following a disaster in the event they must rely on their own resources.
The guide can be accessed here (http://www.fema.gov/areyouready/) and more information can be accessed here (www.ready.gov) or by calling 1-800-BE-READY.
