In our world of potential disasters, the greatest risk is not the storm, the risk is each of us. 
The Safe America Foundation is joining with corporate partners, community leaders and government agencies to be sure every American can practice being prepared. In our world of potential disasters, the greatest risk is not from the storm, the quake, the surge—or even an attack. The risk is each of us. We now know more about predicting catastrophes than ever, but we have not tested a communication or preparedness plan for our families and businesses in the event of a disaster.

As hurricane season again approaches, disaster preparation is very much on our minds—especially those of us who live and work near the coastal regions of our country. Disasters can take many forms—earthquakes, floods, fires, tornadoes, snowstorms, even terrorist attacks, so preparation is important no matter where we live. As time passed after the terrorist attacks of 2001, we slipped into complacency.
When disasters pose an immediate threat and communities are asked to evacuate their homes, prepared families grab emergency kits and evacuate or make the decision to shelter in place. Take into consideration the odds of a long-drawn-out evacuation and plan for your family—and your pets. Prepare for worst case scenarios to make sure that everyone is safe from harm and danger.
