Preparedness Checklists

This Emergency Preparedness Guide is intended to help you prepare for disasters before they happen. Disaster preparedness is no longer the sole concern of earthquake prone Californians and those who live in "Tornado Alley."

Knowing what to do during an emergency is an important part of being prepared, and may make all the difference when seconds count.
