Disaster Preparedness & Recovery

helping hands

Preparedness begins before an emergency occurs. Are you ready? Disaster preparedness positions individuals, households, and communities to respond to and recover from various types of natural and human-made events. Emergencies and disasters can strike without warning, and being prepared is essential to minimizing the loss of life, decreasing risks to property, and reducing economic and social disruption. Through effective preparedness measures, neighbors can build resilience, adapt to change, and enhance overall readiness to safeguard lives and property.
