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.
