 Throughout the month of September, hundreds of activities are planned across the country to highlight the importance of individual and family emergency preparedness. The National Preparedness Month coalition, which includes the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, more than 80 organizations and all 56 states and territories, will encourage Americans to take simple steps to prepare themselves and their families for any possible emergency or disaster.
1) Acquiring a kit of emergency supplies
Prepare yourself for a minimum of 3 days. Due to
overwhelming need or no road access, emergency services may
not be available for up to 72 hours after a major disaster.
First Aid Kit
Water
Canned Milk
Canned Food
Blankets
Choose a location, such as a closet or "safety corner" in the garage, where it is cool and dark. If you live in an apartment or have limited space, be innovative. Other possible storage locations include under the bed, under stairways, or even in a large box or plastic tub that is clearly labeled with contents. Put a reminder on your calendar to check for outdates every six months. Write date on water, etc and rotate.
Layer supplies, and keep them together in a container such as a plastic garbage can with wheels. Check every 6 months for food expiration dates, children's clothing sizes, etc.
Start with what you already have. If you're a camper or backpacker, you've got a head start. Your tent, cook stove, and other gear can double as emergency supplies.
2) Making a plan for what you and your family will do in an emergency.
Find out what kinds of disasters, both natural and man-made, are most likely to occur in your area and how you will be notified. Methods of getting your attention vary from community to community. One common method is to broadcast via emergency radio and TV broadcasts. You might hear a special siren, or get a telephone call, or emergency workers may go door-to-door.

When preparing for a possible emergency situation, it's best to think first about the basics of survival: fresh water, food, clean air and warmth.
Contact the closest chapter of the American Red Cross for emergency information that applies to your community.

TIP:
It is not only law, but extremely important that all business and resident address numbers are clearly visible from the street. Emergency responses can and have been delayed due to the inability of responders to quickly identify an address.
When an emergency arises, time is of the essence. Don't let a few numbers be the cause of unnecessary delays
