Disaster Information
We believe that the best way to prevent and respond to emergencies is through education and thoughtful preparation. We provide you with comprehensive information about what causes the natural disasters that threaten our country. These educational tools should be used to help you understand what to do in the event of a major natural event, such as an earthquake or flood, and to teach you about the particular disasters that may affect you.
