Are You Ready? Emergency Preparedness

In the wake of 9.0-magnitude earthquake in Japan on 3/11/11, which created destructive tsunami waves and triggered evacuations and warnings across the Pacific Ocean, we felt compelled to offer information to our clients about emergency preparedness.

Why Prepare? There are real benefits to being prepared. Being prepared can reduce fear, anxiety, and losses that accompany disasters. People also can reduce the impact of disasters.

The need to prepare is real. Disasters disrupt hundreds of thousands of lives every year. If a disaster occurs in your community, local government and disaster-relief organizations will try to help you, but you need to be ready as well. You should know how to respond to severe weather or any disaster that could occur in your area - hurricanes, earthquakes, extreme cold, flooding, or terrorism. You should also be ready to be self-sufficient for at least three days. This may mean providing for your own shelter, first aid, food, water, and sanitation.

A guide, Are You Ready?, was developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which is the agency responsible for responding to national disasters and for helping state and local governments and individuals prepare for emergencies. It contains step-by-step advice on how to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. Used in conjunction with information and instructions from local emergency management offices and the American Red Cross, Are You Ready? will give you what you need to be prepared.

Are You Ready? An In-depth Guide to Citizen Preparedness
This guide is FEMA’s most comprehensive source on individual, family, and community preparedness. The guide has been revised, updated, and enhanced to provide the public with the most current and up-to-date disaster preparedness information available.

Are You Ready? Provides a step-by-step approach to disaster preparedness by walking the reader through how to get informed about local emergency plans, how to identify hazards that affect their local area, and how to develop and maintain an emergency communications plan and disaster supplies kit. Other topics covered include evacuation, emergency public shelters, animals in disaster, and information specific to people with disabilities.

Are You Ready? Also provides in-depth information on specific hazards including what to do before, during, and after each hazard type. The following hazards are covered: Floods, Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Thunderstorms and Lightning, Winter Storms and Extreme Cold, Extreme Heat, Earthquakes, Volcanoes, Landslide and Debris Flows (Mudslide), Tsunamis, Fires, Wildfires, Hazardous Materials Incidents, Household Chemical Emergencies, Nuclear Power Plant, and Terrorism (including Explosion, Biological, Chemical, Nuclear, and Radiological hazards).
