When it comes to disaster preparedness, having a plan is essential. By definition, a disaster is a serious, unexpected event that can cause great harm or damage. Disasters can come in many forms, such as natural disasters, accidents, or man-made disasters.
While it’s impossible to predict when or where a disaster will strike, there are steps you can take to be prepared. One of the most important things you can do is create a disaster preparedness plan.
A disaster preparedness plan is a document that outlines what you should do in the event of a disaster. It should include information on how to stay safe, where to go, and what to do in different types of disasters.
Creating a disaster preparedness plan is a vital step in being prepared for a disaster. It can help you and your family know what to do in an emergency and can make the difference between life and death.
