Emergency Tip: May's Do1Thing.com Prep Task - Work, School and Community

GOAL FOR MAY: Make sure the people who count on you
 are prepared for a disaster.

It's time to think about Your Community

May's Do 1 Thing task is Work, School and Community Planning -  know how to make sure you and your loved ones are safe in a disaster, no matter where you are.

Below is a list of things that you can do to achieve your goal this month.
Choose at least one, and complete it!

• Make sure emergency procedures are in place for your workplace or school.
• Give emergency kits to people who count on you (college students, elderly parents, etc.).
• Know how others in your community will respond in a disaster.
