Preparation is the key to success in handling emergencies. Public safety experts agree that the two most important things to do to be ready are (1) create a family emergency plan and discuss it with all family members, and (2) build a kit so you are able to be self-sufficient for 72 hours after an emergency. In addition, make sure you have a plan for your place of employment as well as for your children at school.
