DISASTER PREPARATION FOSTER GRANDPARENT PROGRAM NEEDS
It’s officially hurricane season. Are you be prepared? Disasters YOUR HELP

may not have much time to respond. Depending on the disaster
– a hurricane, winter storm, or hazardous material spill – you
could be confined to your home without water and electricity
for days, or you may be asked to evacuate the area.

Before, during, and after a disaster, local officials and relief
volunteers will be working hard to keep people safe. However,
they may not be able to reach everyone quickly, so it is im-
portant to plan ahead before disaster strikes. Below are some
steps you can take to make sure you are prepared for an emer-
gency:

 Create an Emergency Plan, including plans for evacuation
or sheltering in place. Do you have a special need that re-
