Disaster can strike quickly and without warning.
It can force you to evacuate your home, your neighborhood, your school or your workplace or force you to be confined to your home. In large disaster emergency officials can't get to everyone at once. Your family could be scattered all over town. Having a plan is the only way to make sure that you and your family know what to do, how to do it and when to do it when disaster strikes. Also, find out if your workplace, children's school or daycare center have emergency plans.
