How Do I Prepare For Emergencies?

Moriah Kitaeff
Community Engagement Specialist, Fairfax County Department Of Emergency Management And Security

Do you know how to prepare for an emergency situation before it takes place?

Preparedness includes those steps you take before a disaster strikes, in order to make sure you and your family remain safe and secure during and after a disaster. Developing emergency plans, learning about resources available during and after a disaster, and practicing what you would do in an emergency are key elements of preparedness.
By being prepared, you will enable first responders to take care of those in immediate life-threatening situations. Being prepared and knowing what to do will reduce fear and anxiety and may help you to avoid the danger altogether.
