This series has two parts, recommended order is Personal first then Family and Neighborhood but it is not necessary:
- Personal preparedness, what you and everyone in your family needs to now in case of an emergency, City's role, your role, communication plan, how to get help, first aid, supplies etc.
- Family and Neighborhood Preparedness, what your family needs to have in place to have a better outcome after an emergency and what your neighborhood can do together to check on each other, manage small events before they become too big to handle (fire, gas, electrical), get resources, information, and take care of each other until help arrives.
