Community preparedness

Community preparedness is the ability of communities to prepare for, withstand, and recover — in both the short and long terms — from public health incidents.

Make a plan │ Build a kit │ Stay alert

Community resiliency all starts with preparedness planning. Kids and adults can be involved in planning for emergencies and practicing their plans. Parents and teachers can help kids learn about common emergencies in their communities, stock up on items to help keep families safe, and make sure everyone knows how to communicate in an emergency.
