Emergency Management

  1. 1
  2. 2

Devastating events, whether they are natural or man-made, can almost never be predicted. Nevertheless, there are things you can do to prepare for the unexpected and reduce the stress that you may feel now and later, should an emergency arise. Taking preparatory action can reassure you and your children that you can exert a measure of control even in the face of such events.
