3 Be Informed

After a disaster strikes, there is often some confusion as to where to go or what to do.

Be prepared and don’t wait until something bad happens to come up with a plan for what to do after an emergency. Stay tuned to your local news stations, radio channels and emergency warning systems. Contact people in your support network and remember to remain as calm as possible. The more clear-headed you are, the easier it will be for you to focus and get the help you need.
