Are you and your family ready for an emergency?
Emergencies affect hundreds of thousands of people every year. One may hit your installation and community and affect you and your family. When emergencies occur, military and civilian organizations respond, but it takes time to mobilize, and they focus on the most critical needs first. You should get ready to manage on your own for at least three days.
Failure to prepare can put yourself, your family, and your property in jeopardy!
It’s up to you. Prepare Strong.
