No matter where you live, you are part of a larger community. You may live in your own home or in a retirement community. It is important to be prepared for an unexpected emergency. We can not prevent an emergency but there are things we can do to be prepared, just in case. You may never need a flashlight, portable radio and extra batteries for an earthquake, but you will be glad to have them the next time the power goes out in your neighborhood.

Each person should be prepared for a 72 hour shelter in place situation. The links below provide checklists and information regarding what to have on hand and how to protect yourself and your family in case of an emergency. Be prepared!
