We live in California - we shake, we bake, and when it floods, we float. Life changing earthquakes, storms and other disasters are not predictable, but planning ahead for your response to disaster will determine how well you, your family and your neighbors, are able to weather the storm or roll with the quake.

Depending on the type of disaster, City, State and Federal agencies may be called on to secure life and property. However, all residents need to understand that during a major disaster, emergency services may be overwhelmed and it might be several days before basic services are restored. All residents should be prepared to be self-sufficient for up to 72 hours after the occurrence of a major disaster. 

View important resources below and know that this is not a complete list of resources, just the basics to allow you and your family to start your preparations on how you will survive and live during and after a disaster.
