Subscribe to be Prepared

Is your family prepared for the unthinkable? Do you have a plan? A kit? Are you informed of what to do in the event of a disaster?

Emergency preparedness is not the sole concern of Californians for earthquakes, those who live in "Tornado Alley"; or Gulf Coast residents because of hurricanes. Americans also travel more than ever before; to areas impacted by hazards they may not be at risk of near their homes. Knowing what to do before, during and after an emergency is a critical part of being prepared and may make all the difference when seconds count.

Yes, you are extremely busy and the last thing we want to take on is preparing for a disaster, especially when you think it will never happen to you. If you haven't been impacted by one of the fourteen Presidentially declared disasters in the last five years, consider yourself lucky. Thousands of Iowans have directly experienced the rath of mother nature following severe storms, tornadoes, winter storms, and historic flooding. It's not likely that disasters will come to an end so why not start preparing now.

Safeguard Iowa Partnership created an easy to use program to help you and your loved ones become prepared - 20 Weeks to Preparedness. So what are you waiting for? Let's start today!
