Emergency preparedness site
The conflict in the Middle East, the continuing dangers of terrorism and the tornados, flooding and wildfires recently experienced in parts of the country have prompted the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to update its Web site.
The redesigned Ready Web site includes updated emergency preparedness resources, including special preparedness information for pet owners, senior citizens, and individuals with disabilities and special needs. It also provides Americans with increased state and local information so they can learn about the types of emergencies that are more likely to happen in their area and the plans that have been established to deal with these emergencies.
