Queens residents face many
forms of disasters. Whether
they be an earthquake, a hurricane,
a blizzard or a tornado,
it is important to be ready
when they strike. To avoid injury
— or worse — there are
simple steps families can take
to prepare for the worst.
Here are some tips offered
by the U.S. Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention:
1) PREPARE A KIT.
Put together a collection
of critical basics, such as water,
nonperishable and easyto
prepare food, flashlights,
batteries, a battery-powered
or hand-crank radio, a first
aid kit, medications, a multipurpose
tool, sanitary and
hygiene items, copies of personal
documents, cell phones
with chargers, emergency
contact information and cash.
2) MAKE A PLAN.
Develop a family disaster
plan and practice it. Contact
your local American Red
Cross chapter and find out
what disasters are most likely
to happen and how to prepare
for them. Ask about animal
care and how to care for the
elderly or disabled. Develop
an evacuation plan and pick
two places to meet, one outside
your home and one outside
your neighborhood in case you
cannot return home. Practice
this plan with your family.
3) STAY INFORMED.
Learn how to “shelter in
place” in your home, vehicle
or place of work or in-between,
in case chemical or radiological
contaminants are released.
Choose a large room with a water
supply that can be sealed off
at home. Develop a sheltering
plan at work and put together
a kit. Learn CPR, first aid and
how to use an automated external
defibrillator.

emergency can be found at
