Thoughts
on disaster preparedness
The landscape
that drew many of us to Alaska also presents us with a
long list of natural disaster possibilities, from
earthquakes and tsunamis to volcanic ash, flooding,
avalanches, severe winter weather and raging wildfires.
Fortunately, as a group Alaskans tend to be hardy,
resourceful and self-reliant. Even so,
there are still many things we can each do to minimize
our risks - personally, materially and as a community.
Are you
ready for the possibility of a natural or man-made
disaster? Test your disaster preparedness with some of
the following questions:
Information
that can help you be disaster ready is available
through the Kenai Peninsula Borough Office
of Emergency Management, FEMA,
and the American
Red Cross. Don't delay - start
working on your family disaster plan today!
What
is the Kenai Peninsula Citizen Corps?
The Kenai Peninsula Citizen Corps (KPCC) program offers CERT
and Fire Corps (Wildfire Preparedness) training and
volunteer opportunities. Our training goals are to identify disaster risks and develop
solutions that connect local leaders, volunteers and
first responders to build stronger, safer, better
prepared communities. For more
information on your local Citizen Corps programs, view
the brochure.
