IT'S TIME TO GET PREPARED
“You may need to survive on your own after an emergency. You could get help in hours or it might take days. This means having your own food, water and other supplies in sufficient quantity to last for at least 72 hours”
"Everyone in your household should have a Go Bag — a collection of things you would want if you have to leave in a hurry."
“Being prepared means being equipped with the proper supplies you may need in the event of an emergency or disaster...Being prepared may not prevent a disaster but it will give you confidence to meet the challenge”
