How Prepared Are You For a Disaster?

2022 National Preparedness Month Survey
It can happen to anyone, at any time, and anywhere they might be. A disaster can strike all of us; are you prepared?

September is National Preparedness Month, a chance for everyone to take stock of their resources, family plans, contact information.

Do you have an up-to-date go kit? Is the water in your survival kit still safe? Are the batteries in your flashlights running low?

Our city benefits when our residents are prepared for a disaster. In an emergency, our first responders must choose their responses wisely.

Our friend at San Mateo Consolidated Fire Department have created a survey that will help you assess your readiness.
