Disaster Preparedness

Being prepared for possible disasters is the best way to ensure that you and your family members are protected. Each citizen is part of an emergency management system that is all about protection - protecting people and property from all types of hazards. If you think of emergency management as a pyramid, the citizens form the base of the structure. Each citizen has a responsibility to protect themselves and their family by knowing what to do before, during and after an emergency.

MEMA urges each citizen to develop a family disaster plan that includes having a Disaster Supply Kit, a Family Communications Plan and a Family Evacuation Plan.
