Where Will You or Your Family Be When a Disaster Strikes?

You could be anywhere – at work, at school or in the car. How will you find each other? Will you know if your children are safe? Emergencies and disasters can strike quickly and without warning and can force you to evacuate your neighborhood or confine you to your home. What would you do if basic services — water, gas, electricity or telephones — were cut off?

You can cope with disaster by preparing in advance and by working with your family as a team. Knowing what to do is your best protection and your responsibility.
