Most disasters are beyond our control. But with a little planning and preparation, there are ways we can minimize the impact on ourselves, our families and at the workplace. Here are a few simple things we can do:

Know the risks - knowing the risks specific to our community and our region can help us better prepare.
Make a plan - practice what to do in different emergency situations.
Prepare a kit - during an emergency, we will all need some basic supplies. Prepare your own kit or purchase some of the SJA Ready kits.
