from http://www.livejournal.com/users/sir_cat/166668.html I haven't actually looked at most of these sites - especially the FEMA ones.

Preparedness against Natural/Man-made Disasters Considering what has happened in Louisiana, et al, I thought it would be a good idea to present some info on what you can do to prepare yourself and your family in the event of either a natural or a man-made disaster. The following web sites can get you started.

Check your town/city and/or county website for local response plans. Typically, emergency management, if not a seperate department, falls under the local fire department's responsibility. Also check for your state's response plan.

Community and Family Preparedness

http://www.fema.gov/preparedness/community_prepare.shtm

Community Emergency Response Teams (Get formal training on how to help your family and your community in the event of a disaster.)

(If you're interested, do a search for your local/nearest Community Emergency Response Team.)

Canadian Center for Emergency Preparedness (Gotta remember my Canadian friends.)

Animals and Disasters (For the pet owners.)

http://www.fema.gov/preparedness/animals_and_disasters.shtm

Specific incident preparedness information. (If you'd like more, just do a search on a specific type of incident and preparedness. Hurricane Preparedness, Earthquake Preparedness, etc.)
