Be Prepared!

The motto "Be Prepared" comes from the Boy Scouts of America, and when were in Scouts we probably tried to live up to this motto. Now that we are adults, we tend to assume that we will be the only one not affected by the disaster - what ever it may be. This section is designed to help you prepare you and your family to be able to cope with a disaster. While we are using a major earthquake as the "example" disaster, most other incidents require the same planning and response. The wind storms of January 1997, or the West Coast power outage of 1996 are good examples. If you were prepared... you knew what to do and how to do it.

This site can't provide any more than an overview. If you are interested in learning more about how to prepare for an emergency situation, go to the Upcoming Training page to see when the next VERT training session will be held. The training is FREE !
