When disaster strikes, don't be afraid...Be Ready!
Do you know what to do when disaster strikes? Do you have a plan? Fire, police and emergency medical services may be delayed or unable to respond. With a plan and a supply kit you can help to protect yourself and your family. Whether it’s tornadoes, flooding, winter storms or an act of terrorism -- emergencies can occur quickly and without warning. Although we cannot prevent emergencies, we can prepare for them.
Be ready! Create a family emergency plan. Build an emergency supply kit. When you’re ready, Iowa is too.
Thanks for doing your part!
