Emergency Preparedness

Is your family prepared for an emergency?

In most emergencies, it will take emergency responders or other aid hours or days to help everyone.   A good rule of thumb is "the first 48 hours, You're on your own".  Even in smalleremergencies, families may find themselves without immediate support.  

Does your familyknow what to do in an emergency?  Do you know what you'd do if you didnt have power for days?  Do you have an emergency kit?
