Are You Ready? A Guide to Citizen Preparedness.
This publication brings together facts on disaster survival
techniques, disaster-specific information, and how to prepare for
and respond to both natural and man-made disasters. As the most
comprehensive guide to personal emergency preparedness published
by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA),
Are You Ready? will
help individuals prepare themselves and their families for
disaster. Revised in September 2002, it provides a step-by-step
outline on how to prepare a disaster supply kit, emergency
planning for people with disabilities, how to locate and evacuate
to a shelter, and even contingency planning for family pets.
Man-made threats from hazardous materials and terrorism are also
treated in detail. The guide describes opportunities for every
citizen to become involved in safeguarding neighbors and
communities through FEMA’s Citizen Corps (www.citizencorps.gov)
initiative, Community Emergency Response Team training program.
Copies of Are You
Ready? are available through the FEI Publications Warehouse
(1-800, 480-2520), FEMA Publication H-34. For large quantities,
your organization may reprint the publication (see FEMA’s reprint
page for more information).
