Most people don't do anything to prepare for disasters. How do I know? 

1. Go to a store the day before a storm: Milk, bread, and bacon? Gone. Snow shovels and salt? Sold out. 

2. Go to a store the day after a storm: Generators and pumps? Nope, all gone.

We also conducted a survey on this topic to see how prepared people are for disasters and emergencies.

In our survey, we found that 62.5% of the 80 respondents have no disaster supply kit. Most people have food, a flashlight, and some basic tools. Fewer have 3 days of water, an ability to charge their phone, supplies to stop a leak, or a heat source.

With this data, and data from other studies, we created a disaster kit and included some educational resources below. Our goal is to help you and your family prepare for emergencies and disasters BEFORE they happen.

COVID-19 was the most severe and widespread pandemic that any of us have seen. There were many unknowns early in the pandemic. There were closures to help healthcare systems prepare for these unknowns. The overwhelmed hospitals, toilet paper shortages, supply chain issues, and mass exodus of healthcare workers were unimaginable.

Along with preparing for natural disasters, be sure to consider how you and your family will prepare for future pandemics and supply chain issues. Unfortunately, it will likely happen again.
