Emergencies can happen at any time.

It’s important to make sure you and your family are ready. Don’t wait — make a plan with your family today.

Make an emergency supply kit. Gather supplies like water, medicines, and blankets. You won’t have time to search or shop for these supplies during an emergency.

Make a family emergency plan. Be sure to decide on an emergency contact — someone that each member of your family knows to call during an emergency.

Learn what to do in different types of emergencies. Contact your state’s emergency management office to find out what types of disasters are most common in your area.

Tip:

Share this email with your friends and family to remind them to prepare for emergencies, too.
