Are You Ready?

Are You Ready? A Guide to Citizen Preparedness brings together facts on disaster survival techniques, disaster-specific information , and how to prepare for and respond to both natural and man-made disaster.

As the most comprehensive guide to personal emergency preparedness published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Are You Ready? will help individuals prepare themselves and their families for disasters.

Revised in August 2004, Are You Ready? provides a step-by-step outline on how to prepare a disaster supply kit, emergency planning for people with disabilities, how to locate and evacuate to a shelter, and even contingency planning for family pets. Men-made threats from hazardous materials and terrorism are also treated in detail. The guide details opportunities for every citizen to become involved in safeguarding their neighbors and communities through FEMA's Citizen Corps (www.citizencorps.gov) initiative and Community Emergency Response Teams (CETA) training program.

Copies of Are You Ready? are available through the FEMA Publications Warehouse (1.800.480.2520), FEMA publication H-34. You can also download it by clicking here.
