Natural Disaster Preparedness

Natural disaster preparedness involves planning and actions to minimize the impact of disasters such as floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, and wildfires. It includes creating an emergency plan for your family, assembling an emergency kit with essential supplies, staying informed about local hazards, and knowing evacuation routes. Community preparedness also plays a role, with initiatives that encourage neighborhoods to work together. Regularly practicing safety drills and updating plans are crucial. By being prepared, individuals and communities can respond more effectively, ensure safety, and recover more quickly in the aftermath of a natural disaster.
