Stay Safe: Prepare for the First 72 Hours After a Disaster

 

In the event of a disaster, help may not be available right away. That’s why the first 72 hours are on you. Make sure your household is ready with a personal emergency kit that includes food, water, and essential supplies to last at least three days.
