Disaster Prevention includes
both being prepared as well as
reducing the impact of a disaster.
A disaster can happen at any time,
                               anywhere and to anyone.  
1. Take control
Set in place an action plan and always have a disaster survival kit prepared.
Services such as electricity, gas, water and telephone may be disrupted for days or weeks.		 2. Create your own kit
Creating your own disaster survival kit is one way to ensure that you and your family are able to survive on your own after an emergency in the event your lives are interrupted by a disaster.
This can affect your quality of life.

 3. Stock up on supplies
Be sure to have enough supplies to last for approximately three
(3) days.
