ARE YOU PREPARED? Disasters Can Happen Anytime, Anywhere - Without Warning 

The best way to reduce your risk for injury or loss is to be prepared. Preparedness can reduce the impact of disasters on individuals, families and communities.

While the American Red Cross is the main provider of disaster recovery in communities across the country, we also offer information, training and resources that can help individuals, families, organizations and communities better respond to disasters.

Being ready for a disaster ahead of time will allow you, your family, friends, neighbors, students, co-workers and employees to better cope with and recover from disasters more quickly.

The Granite Chapter can provide training, education and informational materials to assist you in creating an emergency preparedness plan. If you or someone you know would like to be prepared for emergencies, ranging from choking to cardiac arrest to house fires or hurricanes, call 603-225-6697 or toll-free, 1-800-464-6692.

Are you ready for an emergency?  Take time now to learn what you can do to help protect yourself, your family and your neighbors.  The Red Cross booklet, "Preparing for Disaster," produced in partnership with FEMA, is filled with important information to guide you in your preparedness planning.  It is available free of charge by contacting the Granite Chapter, or you may download a copy of the file [LINK “download a copy of the file” TO http://www.redcross.org/services/disaster/0,1082,0_601_,00.html]
