Emergency Preparedness: If COVID-19 has taught us anything, it’s that life can change in a moment. Is your community prepared for future emergencies? Would your family be okay if we couldn’t access grocery stores use our water and power? There are great resources available to help our families and community prepare for future unexpected emergencies.
It doesn’t have to be expensive or difficult. You may have already done some of it!
Also, if you are passionate about this topic, there are so many ways to get involved to help your community prepare for natural and man made disasters.
