How to prepare for an Emergency
Planning and preparing for emergencies at home can help protect your family and property, reduce the impact of the emergency, and recover quicker after.
Taking the time to think about emergencies and making a plan helps you to think clearly, have a greater sense of control, and make better decisions when an emergency occurs.
Emergencies can happen anywhere, at any time. It’s important to have a plan, know what to do and where to find information in an emergency.
