Welcome to the Family, Home and Business Disaster Planning website. This
website will better prepare you and your family for future disasters by
helping you create your own personalized Family Disaster Plan.
In a major
disaster, emergency workers may not be able to reach everyone right away,
and in some cases it may take 3 or more days for help to arrive. What would
you do if you had no electricity, no gas, no water and no telephone service?
Having a plan for your family, your home and your business needs will help
ensure everyone's safety and comfort during these difficult times.
Over the next few minutes, you will be asked to provide information about
your home, family, and pets. Using the information you provide, this website
will create a personalized Family or Business Disaster Plan that you can
print out and save for future emergencies. Creating your plan is easy and only takes about 10-15 minutes. To begin,

Business Owners
If you own a business, did you know that almost 40% of small businesses
close due to a disaster event never re-open. What would you do if the
building your business is located within was damaged or destroyed in a
disaster? Where would you go to continue providing your customers with your
business services? Would you be prepared and have the correct resources,
databases, contact information and other necessary items to adapt to these
changes? Having a disaster plan that identifies these important items will
help ensure your business is prepared to survive during unexpected and
difficult times!
You will be asked to provide information about your business including
your business location, suppliers you depend on, and vital records you use
to operate each day. Using the information you provide, this website will
create a customized Business Disaster Plan that you can print out and save
for future emergencies.

Make arrangements for your pets as part of your
household disaster planning. If you must evacuate your home, it's always best to take your
pets with you. 
Waiting
until the very last minute to secure your home and property is
one sure way to test your sanity. Murphy's Law say that
anytime you're in a hurry you won't be able to find the stuff
you need, thing won't fit and every that can go wrong will go
wrong. Securing your property should start right now with
putting a plan together with a checklist of exactly what you'll
need to do when a storm threatens. 
Are you Prepared?
