Positively Prepared: 1 Day to Peace of Mind During Inevitable Emergencies and Unlikely Disasters

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security and The American Red Cross declared September 2005 as “National Preparedness Month.” American Red Cross President and CEO Marsha J. Evans states, “No community is truly prepared for a disaster until every individual, family and household takes personal responsibility for preparedness.” This pamphlet is intended to aid you in preparing your own disaster plan by asking you to simply think for one day about what could happen, gather a few supplies and get a few pieces of information together, and then to relax. Enjoy your life, look positively toward the future, knowing that you are prepared should an unlikely disaster occur.
