Well I recently finished the book Slow Apocalypse by
Varley. This is a book that gets you
thinking seriously about what you would need to do to survive a disaster. To successfully plan you need information
and one place you can find that type of information is on the Ready LA (http://www.readyla.com/index.php)
website. This is a disaster
preparedness website put together by the city.
Here you will find you will find:
- Disaster awareness preparation links for earthquakes, fires, severe weather & flooding, terrorism, public health, and hazardous materials just to name a few.
- Emergency information for disabled persons, seniors, children, schools, businesses, families, pet owners, etc.
- Information on recovery assistance, utility shut-offs, communications, disaster planning, emergency videos, and emergency supply kits.
- In addition there are links to Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the Red Cross as well as a listing of police/fire stations, hospitals, utility companies, and pertinent city services within your designated zip code.
Check it out and make yourself a concrete plan.
