PREPARATION IS THE KEY The U.S. Department of Homeland Security encourages Americans to be prepared for emergencies. By clicking on the link below, you will be linked to a PDF file of a preparedness calendar that is intended to help you assemble a disaster supplies kit in small steps over a five-month period. Please share this information with family and friends.  (This is a PDF document – Acrobat Reader is required) In a recent national survey conducted by The Ad Council, 80 percent of Americans agreed that taking some simple steps to prepare could help protect themselves and their families in the event of an emergency. However, only 58 percent had made an emergency supply kit, developed a family emergency plan or learned more about potential threats, the three steps recommended by the Ready campaign. A survey of small businesses found more than 90 percent recognized the importance of business emergency preparedness. But, less than 40 percent said their company had an emergency plan in place. By visiting www.Ready.gov, individuals and businesses can learn how to prepare their families and workplaces for emergencies including natural disasters and potential terrorist attacks. Materials, including family communication plan templates and sample business continuity plans, are available on the website providing Americans with the resources needed to make plans that will bring peace of mind.
