Everyone needs to think about these things
before a
disaster occurs. Coping with a disaster is much more difficult and
dangerous if you're not prepared. Some people don't take disaster
preparedness seriously because they don't think it will ever happen to
them. If it does, they assume there's nothing they can do about it. The
truth is, disasters can happen any time, anywhere. The better prepared
you are, the better off you'll be. Disaster preparedness isn't just a
case of preparing for the worst;
it's being prepared to do your best when it
matters most.
