As CERT Members we are taught preparing for and responding
to disaster begins with preparing yourself and your family,
but when a large disaster strikes and first responders are
overwhelmed, the first people you will turn to for help will
be your neighbors. Building good relationships with your
neighbors is the best way to extend your personal safety
net.
Preparedness is everyone’s responsibility. We all need to
work together!
We
don't know what type or when disasters and emergencies may
strike, but there are simple preparedness steps you can take
that are common to all disasters.
You plan only once, and are able to apply your plan to all
types of hazards.
-
Make a family
emergency plan
-
Put together
an emergency supply kit
-
Be prepared
to help your neighbor
-
Work as a
team to keep everyone safe
Ready Lowcountry
is a partnership with the National Ready campaign to provide
local information to help prepare your family, neighborhood
and community for all types of emergencies and disasters.
Having a plan and the tools in place to make it on your own
for a period of time can be crucial!
Please share this checklist to help you and your neighbors
prepare.
