Download the Family Disaster Preparedness Plan DocumentThis document guides you in creating disaster supply kits, getting important information organized and stored in one location in case you have to face a serious disaster.
Having a family disaster preparedness kit and important documents readily available in your home is essential for ensuring your safety and stability during emergencies. Natural disasters, power outages, or other crises can strike with little warning, and access to basic supplies like food, water, medications, flashlights, and first aid can make a critical difference in how your family copes in the hours or days that follow. Equally important is securing vital documents—such as identification, insurance policies, medical records, and emergency contact information—so you can quickly access services, file claims, or verify your identity if you need to evacuate or rebuild. Being prepared not only provides peace of mind, but it also helps reduce panic and confusion when time and resources are limited. This guide is designed to make this process easier.
After a disaster, letting your family and friends know that you are safe and well can bring your loved ones great peace of mind. This website is designed to help make that communication easier.
