Know How to Be Prepared
Follow These Simple Steps Now to be Prepared Before the Next Emergency:
- Make or Purchase an Emergency Kit: Keep enough emergency supplies on hand for you and those in your care – water, non-perishable food, first aid, prescriptions, flashlight, battery-powered radio. Learn about other items you should have in your emergency kit in this checklist of supplies.
- Make a Plan: Discuss, agree on, and document an emergency plan with those in your care. View sample plans.
- Be Informed: Not all all emergencies are the same. Take time to become educated about the kind of emergencies that are likely to happen in our area. View FEMA preparedness information here.
- Know how you will get information before, during, and after an emergency. See City of Bowie Emergency Communications.
The more individuals are prepared, the quicker the community will recover.
