Will you be ready when disaster strikes the Bay Area?

Disaster can strike quickly, anytime day or night—and often without warning. It can separate you from your loved ones, force you to evacuate, or confine you to your home. With a disaster plan, supplies, and safety training, you will be ready to take care of yourself and your family.

The American Red Cross Bay Area Chapter, in conjunction with the Alameda Fire Department, and Alameda Power and Telecom, produced this 19-minute video about disaster preparedness. Watch it and learn the American Red Cross' three basic steps to disaster preparedness: Make a Plan, Get a Kit, and Be Informed & Get Trained.
