Disaster Preparedness Guide: How to "Shelter-In-Place" During an Emergency

You never know when you will be faced with the unknown! We are taught from infancy that "planning" for events and mile-stones are an essential part of life. Indoctrinated from the crib, and reinforced through out each stage of our lives, we implement plans for our future marriage, education, children, homes, retirement and death. We buy insurance to protect our assets and investments; however, most of us don't have an emergency plan to save the lives of our loved ones during a disaster. Most people think they have all the bases covered, until disaster strikes and they find out, too late, that they were not adequately prepared!

In the event of a natural disaster you local authorities will implement public disaster plans. In the past, we have witnessed that it is not wise to put our full trust in an unpredictable aftermath; therefore it is wise to prepare, in advance, to protect and provide for your family's immediate safety and welfare. This Guide is designed to help you establish and implement your own personal Family Disaster Preparedness Plan. It will give you the knowledge and tools necessary to protect your family during and after the event.

Disaster Preparedness Plan Goals

1) Be prepared to save yourself and your family's lives during a natural disaster, code "red" or terrorist alert.

2) Establish a plan that will allow you to survive the disaster and then be self-sufficient during the clean-up and rescue operation.
