Planning for Emergencies
PART 2
Page 6
In the last issue of the Perspective, we reprinted some suggestions to help each
develop an emergency plan. Hurricane Katrina showed us all how quickly Mother Nature
can disrupt our family’s lives. Even in this area, we have experienced several events
that often cause us unaware and frequently unprepared. The terrorist attacks of 2001,
Hurricane Isabel in 2003 and even the snipers in 2002 all forced many to either leave
their homes or to make alternate plans for their families for short or even extended
periods of time.
In this issue, we are printing a list of your local Emergency Preparedness Hotlines.
Many have websites that may have additional information that would be helpful to
your family. We have listed the website address for each.
