Take Action

Natural disasters and emergencies can wreak havoc in a person's life and devastate a community. While there isn't much we can do about them occurring, we can be more prepared.

Three Steps to Prepare for an Emergency

1. Make a Plan

• Identify hazards in your area: For instance hazards in Missouri include tornadoes, floods, ice accumulation, severe wind events, wildfires, and lightning strikes.

• Create a communication plan with your family and friends. It is recommended to have a long distance contact, if possible, in case the communication towers are down in your area.

• Create an evacuation plan for your home and work.

2. Build an Emergency Kit

• Make sure to have one gallon of water per person per day (including your pet).

• Keep in mind your unique needs, such as, medicine and important documents.

• Include non perishable food items, weather radio, flashlight and whistle.

3. Stay Informed

Find the best way to receive information of inclement weather or sudden emergencies.
