Are
You Ready? A Guide to Citizen Preparedness published by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) brings together
facts on disaster survival techniques, disaster-specific information,
and how to prepare for and respond to both natural and man-made
disasters. Are You Ready? will help individuals prepare themselves
and their families for disasters.
Ready.gov
Ready.gov, prepared by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security,
is a common sense framework designed to launch a process of
learning about citizen preparedness. One of the primary mandates
of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is to educate
the public, on a continuing basis, about how to be prepared
in case of a national emergency – including a possible
terrorist attack.
Take some time to stay informed about how to react to even
unlikely scenarios. You should be prepared to adapt this information
to your personal circumstances and make every effort to follow
instructions received from authorities on the scene. For the
most current information and recommendations, check back frequently
or call 1-800-BE-READY for a free brochure.
