Neighborhood Preparedness


We want you to be prepared. We all remember when toilet paper and hand sanitizer was a rare find. Yet both of these items have been standard on our recommended emergency kit list for years. That’s why we recommend you download our Prepare in a Year guide available in multiple languages, geared to help you take one step a month for the next 12 months to get you prepared. We know things are tough and money is tight. So, it makes sense that the first step in our plan is FREE. Get together and start talking to your family. Create an actual communications plan on what would happen if you were separated. During an earthquake, your entire family might be separated by school, work or on the road. By crafting solutions now, you can ensure calm and understanding later. Everyone will know what to do. Download the English version here.
