Prepare To Protect

In keeping with the National Preparedness Month, I thought I'd put together as much information as I could find on preparing with a budget and ways to prepare ahead of time.

Let's face it, there are things that will ultimately have to be purchased for emergency kits, so planning ahead is something that we can all do and preparing a list of things that you need, and purchasing items weekly can really help with the budget!

Ready.gov has a wealth of information for you regarding ALL of your disaster preparation needs.

You can also visit SERVPRO of Lebanon/Hanover/Littleton's website blog section for disaster related blogs and tons of preparedness information Here.

A great first step to preparing yourself for disaster, is to find out exactly what you need to prepare.

You can download or order your FREE preparedness products to help your family plan and prepare for the next emergency here: Free Publications

A very important part of preparing your family for a disaster is to know what to do the moment a disaster occurs. Have a plan in place and remember,  Drills aren’t just for your toolbox. Practice emergency drills with your family regularly.

Emergencies can happen anytime, and less than half of American families have a communication plan. Plan ahead with your family!

Make preparing fun for kids! Go on a scavenger hunt around your house for items you already have to add to your disaster supply kit. 

Follow this list: Build a Kit and see how many items you can check off!

Know what disasters and hazards could affect YOUR area, how to get emergency alerts, and where you would go if you and your family need to evacuate.

A little preparation can make the difference in a life threatening situation!
