Preparedness

As we have seen in disasters in recent years, it may take several days before outside assistance arrives.  It is critical for individuals to be prepared to take care of themselves and their families until help arrives.

The documents below provide information on how to prepare your family for disasters.  In addition, CERT classes are offered to provide additional training.  Contact ESCA for additional information, or go to the CERT link on this website.
