New campaign encourages Texans
to prepare for any emergency |
|
Ready or not, disasters happen. Do you have a plan? DSHS has launched a statewide emergency preparedness campaign to help Texans prepare for emergencies such as hurricanes, wildfires, terrorist attacks and disease outbreaks. |
Key to the Ready or Not? HAVE A PLAN campaign is a new interactive website, TexasPrepares.org and TexasPrepara.org in Spanish, where Texans can create a family emergency plan, build a customized disaster supplies list and get information about the threats we face. DSHS encourages all Texans to get ready. Visit TexasPrepares.org today and make your plan. |
