Disaster preparation

Disaster preparation is all about getting ready for bad things to happen. It means having a plan of action ahead of time so that if something bad happens, you know what to do. For example, if you live in a place that could get hit by a tornado or hurricane, make sure you know where a safe place to go would be. Make sure you know how to get in touch with your friends and family in case you get separated. Make sure you have all the things you need for a few days like water, food, first-aid kit, etc. Lastly, make sure you have someone you can contact for help if needed.
