Emergency Preparedness at Home

(9 min.) The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has concluded that the "Big One" will be the worst disaster in the United States since the Civil War. Damage from an earthquake is wide spread, devastating to industry, to our complex roadways and to some large public buildings. Are you prepared for an emergency? This program is called "Emergency Preparedness At Home" and it will save lives and prevent injuries if the steps within the program are followed. The life you save may be your own or that of a family member. The most crucial element in surviving any type of natural disaster is preparing for the emergency. This program will instruct you in life safety and life sustaining actions before, during, and following an earthquake.
