It’s always a good time to get prepared. Find resources to help you prepare for emergencies such as earthquakes, fires, and floods on the City of San Diego website.
Because no two disasters are ever the same, emergency incidents affect people differently. Because of this, it is important to create emergency plans that support one’s particular needs. Become prepared for potential disasters by using some of the Emergency Preparedness Resources from the City of San Diego.
- Be Prepared and Make a Plan: Your preparedness to respond to an emergency will depend on the your planning, and the supplies you have ready. Learn how to prepare by building an emergency supply kit and planning for your shelter, vehicle and work space.
- Build a Kit: Ensure that you have all of the resources that you may need in case a disaster strikes.
- Stay Informed: Staying informed is essential to your successful preparedness during an emergency. Visit these resources for information on Current Incidents, Mitigation, Preparedness, Partners, and to learn more about the City of San Diego’s dissemination of emergency incident updates.
- Get Involved: Although you should not self-deploy to a major disaster, it does take a whole community approach, involving residents like you who are committed to neighborhoods, churches, schools, and volunteer organizations to build resilient communities. People who are involved in their community are the key to this disaster resilience. A resilient community is one that can withstand a disaster and get back to normal quickly, even if normal isn’t the same as it was before. Remember, community preparedness starts at home. If you know that your family is prepared at home, you will be better able to help others in your community.
