ReadyNotifyPA is a system that helps local officials in Southeastern
Pennsylvania send emergency text alerts and other important notifications
to you quickly. ReadyNotifyPA can send these to your cell phone, pager,
BlackBerry, PDA and/or E-mail account. You decide how you’d like to

The Disaster Handbook:
This tool from the University of Florida provides important information in an easy-to-navigate online format. Each section is also available in PDF format so you can download and print specific portions as needed.
Printable Planning Documents:
Find out what kinds of disasters, both natural and man-made, are most likely to occur in your area and how you will be notified. Methods of getting your attention vary from community to community. One common method is to broadcast via emergency radio and TV broadcasts. You might hear a special siren, or get a telephone call, or emergency workers may go door-to-door.
When preparing for a possible emergency situation, it's best to think first about the basics of survival: fresh water, food, clean air and warmth.

For Americans, preparedness must now account for man-made disasters as well as natural ones. Knowing what to do during an emergency is an important part of being prepared and may make all the difference when seconds count.
