No one likes to envision the possibility of natural disasters like floods, fires, hurricanes or tornados in their future, nor do they like to think about crimes like theft and vandalism. However, by investing the time now in a little preparation, you can have peace of mind later.
After a disaster or emergency such as a flood, fire, hurricane, tornado or earthquake, your safety is what is most important.
Evacuations occur more frequently than most people realize. Know what protective measures to take before, during and after an evacuation.
