There are real benefits
to being prepared for a Natural Disaster.
Being prepared can
reduce fear, anxiety, and losses that accompany
disasters. Communities, families, and individuals
should know what to seek shelter during a tornado.
They should be ready to evacuate their homes and
take refuge in public shelters and know how to care
for their basic medical needs. |
People also can reduce
the impact of disasters (flood proofing, elevating a
home or moving a home out of harm’s way, and
securing items that could shake loose in an
earthquake) and sometimes avoid the danger
completely. (FEMA) |
