WHERE WILL YOUR FAMILY BE WHEN DISASTER STRIKES

You could be anywhere…..at work, at school or in the car. How will you find each other? Will you know if your children are safe?

Emergencies and disasters can strike quickly and without warning and can force you to evacuate your neighborhood or confine you to your home. What would you do if the basic services…..water, gas. Electricity or telephones were cut off?

Local officials and relief workers will be on the scene after a disaster, but they cannot reach everyone right away. You can cope with disaster by preparing in advance and by working with your family as a team.

Come to the Prepare NOW Expo June 13th 10:00 to 2:00 Eastern Hills Mall
