Terrorism

Preparing for terrorism is in many ways identical to preparing for other types of disasters. It’s still a good idea to:

• Develop a disaster plan for you and your family, including procedures for contacting each other if seperated during an emergency.
• Asemble a 72-hour kit, containing food, water, clothing, a list of emergency shelter locations, and other needs for up to three days, for you, your family, and your pets.
• Learn how (and whether) to shut-off your utilities.
• Learn CPR, first-aid, and how to use a fire extinguisher.
• Work with your neighbors to perpare your community.
• Learn about hazardous materials and sheltering in place.
