Prepare for Emergencies

Emergencies can occur at any time and usually without warning. Multiple studies have demonstrated that if people proactively receive training before a disaster they can minimize fatalities, injuries and property damage.

The National Preparedness Goal core capabilities list describes community resilience as the ability to “lead the integrated effort to recognize, understand, communicate, plan, and address risks so that the community can develop a set of actions to accomplish Mitigation and improve resilience.”
