The Disaster Preparedness Guide - eBook

This is a downloadable e-Book

A major emergency affecting a large number of people may occur anytime and anywhere. It may be a peacetime disaster such as a flood, tornado, fire, hurricane, blizzard or earthquake. It could be an enemy nuclear or terrorist attack on the United States. In any type of general disaster, lives can be saved if people are prepared for the emergency, and know what actions to take when it occurs.

This eBook, "The Disaster Preparedness Guide," contains basic general information on preparing for major disasters, including floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, winter storms, earthquakes, and terrorist attacks. Chapter 1 gives general guidance applicable to various types of disasters. This general guidance supplements the specific instructions issued by local governments. Since special conditions may exist in some communities, the local instructions may be slightly different from this general guidance. In those cases, the local instructions should be followed. Succeeding chapters give special advice on floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, winter storms, and earthquakes.
