Reading Club
Discover Disaster Preparedness
A disaster can result from a natural occurrence such as a hurricane, tornado, flood or earthquake. It might also be man-made, like a bioterrorist attack or chemical spill.
Recognizing the risks and danger signs of different hazards, creating a disaster plan, knowing how to treat basic medical problems, and readying in advance to evacuate your home can reduce fear, anxiety and losses. More importantly, disaster and emergency preparedness may save your life. Source: MedlinePlus
