Now is the time!!!! Disasters and emergencies can affect anyone at any time. Do you have the plans and supplies in place to help withstand the first three to five days after a disaster? The Fairfax County Office of Emergency Management suggests three steps that each person and family should take to prepare for an emergency: 1. Make a Plan – Figure out how you will contact your family and reconnect with them if, in the likely event, youre separated during a local emergency. Identify what youll do in a variety of situations. 2. Make a Kit – An emergency kit should contain basic supplies to help you withstand a disaster. It’s best to think first about the basics of survival: fresh water, food, clean air and warmth. 3. Stay Informed – Register in your local community for emergency alerts. Learn about what you can do for your community to better prepare for emergencies.
