Esto no sucederá aquí.  Tendemos a pensar que no ocurrirán desastres en el lugar donde vivimos. Sin embargo, en los últimos años se ha demostrado que sí ocurren. Se han registrado severas tormentas invernales, inundaciones y prolongados cortes de energía en todo el estado. Debemos aceptar la realidad y asumir la responsabilidad de tomar medidas para prepararnos a nosotros mismos y a nuestros seres queridos, hogares, mascotas y vecindarios.

Are you prepared?  Why not start this month and make disaster preparedness a part of your New Year's commitment.

It's simple -

• Choose one hour a month
• Write it on the calendar
• Complete the designated activity

Month 1:  Develop an Action Plan.

Would you know what to do if an earthquake occurred? A quick response to an earthquake event, volcanic eruption, chemical release and other hazard is critical to your safety and that of your loved ones.  

Therefore the focus for the first month of Prepare in a Year is to Desarrollar un Plan de Acción. Learn about the potential hazards and specific actions you can take to protect yourself and your loved ones.

Remember - one hour of disaster preparedness activity each month helps you be ready for disasters - whenever they occur.
