Monthly Disaster Preparedness Tip - June 2000


The best advice anyone can give for disaster preparedness is to be prepared. When an emergency occurs, those who have prepared in advance will fare far better than those who are caught off-guard.

After you have established an initial supply of food items for survival, it’s important that you continue to add to it so that over a period of time you will actually have enough supplies to deal with an emergency. If you have adequate food put aside, then it’s a good idea to consider a trip to the local hardware store to build up a supply of hardware items.

Some items you should have in your emergency kit are:

Install and test your smoke detector, and mount your water heater to the wall using the metal plumbers tape.
