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.
