Are
You Ready?
A Guide to Citizen Preparedness
Are You Ready? A Guide to Citizen Preparedness brings
together facts on disaster survival techniques,
disaster-specific information, and how to prepare
for and respond to both natural and man-made disasters.
Revised
in September 2002, Are You Ready? provides a step-by-step
outline on how to prepare a disaster supply kit,
emergency planning for people with disabilities,
how to locate and evacuate to a shelter, and even
contingency planning for family pets. Man-made threats
from hazardous materials and terrorism are also
treated in detail. The guide details opportunities
for every citizen to become involved in safeguarding
their neighbors and communities through FEMA's Citizen
Corps (www.citizencorps.gov)
initiative and Community Emergency Response Team
training program.
