One of my top responsibilities as a Member of Congress is to help ensure the health and safety of my constituents.  The recent wildfires in Southern California have emphasized the importance of being prepared for emergencies.  Creating and implementing a disaster preparedness plan can help you and your loved ones stay safe and organized in the event of an earthquake, wildfire or other sudden emergency.  There are several things you and your family can do to prepare for a disaster or emergency situation.
 

• Think about what logistical and financial challenges you and your family would face.
• Plan what to do if a disaster occurs.
• Review your disaster plan with your family.
