Disaster Preparedness

Okay, so Katrina and Rita sent you the message that you need to be prepared for the next upcoming disaster.

But where to start?

Of all the guides I've seen lately, the Fairfax County (Virginia)Web site has one of the better emergency guides. Go to: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/emergency/guide.htm

The guide is available in text format or a very nicely designed PDF. It is also available in Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, Korean, Spanish, and Vietnamese.

As good as this guide is, remember, it is a very basic start. But we all need to start with the basics...
