A disaster resistant Bay Area. Will you be ready when disaster strikes?
This documentary from the American Red Cross Society Bay Area Chapter along with the Alameda City Fire Department and Alameda Power and Telecom in California, USA, show how disaster preparedness can help to prepare for and reduce the effects of disasters. That is, to predict and where possible prevent disasters, mitigate their impact on vulnerable populations, and respond to and effectively cope with their consequences.
Disaster can strike quickly, anytime day or night—and often without warning. It can separate you from your loved ones, force you to evacuate, or confine you to your home. With a disaster plan, supplies, and safety training, you will be ready to take care of yourself and your family.
The American Red Cross Bay Area Chapter, in conjunction with the Alameda Fire Department, and Alameda Power and Telecom, produced this video about disaster preparedness. Watch it and learn the American Red Cross’ basic steps to disaster preparedness:
