Disaster can strike quickly and without warning. It can force you to evacuate your neighborhood or confine you to your home. What would you do if basic services--water, gas, electricity or telephones--were cut off? Local officials and relief workers will be on the scene after a disaster, but they cannot reach everyone right away. Knowing what to do to protect yourself and your household is essential. A recent national survey revealed that only 7 percent of Americans have taken the recommended actions to prepare for disasters. If you're in the remaining 93 percent, the American Red Cross Silicon Valley Chapter urges you to get ready for the unexpected. Now thanks to our simple online preparedness training course, it's easier than ever to get ready for emergencies. By following three easy steps in the online presentation to your right., you will ensure that you and your family are on the right track for being prepared for an emergency or disaster. |
