Be aware of the kinds of emergencies that could happen in your community and have a plan on how you can get up-to-date information during an emergency.
In central Indiana, extreme heat and cold, thunderstorms and tornadoes, floods, and winter storms top the list of likely natural disaster causes but don’t forget the potential for an earthquake. It’s also a good idea to be aware of your surroundings at work and at home, and any potential man-made problems that could arise.
