Free disaster prep guide offered to U.S. homeowners and renters
A free Emergency Disaster Preparation guide is now available to homeowners and renters across the U.S. The guide aims to help people prepare for wildfires, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes and other emergencies, with supply lists and go-bag advice for quick evacuations.
Why it matters: - The guide is meant to help people prepare for disasters that can force fast evacuations and temporary shelter stays. - The material covers natural disasters and man-made hazards, including wildfires, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, snowstorms, lightning storms, gas leaks and chemical spills. - The guide may help households stay ready before an emergency hits, when supplies and planning matter most.
What happened: - A free Emergency Disaster Preparation guide is now being offered to any homeowner or renter in America. - The guide is designed to prepare the public for a variety of disaster situations. - Bruce Fischer worked with Go Bag USA to create the guide, which ties to his book, Ready, Set, Go! – Leaving Your Home During a Natural Disaster. - More information is available at the company's website.
The details: - The guide includes suggested supply lists for specific disaster situations. - Federal, state and city agencies often recommend having emergency supply bags ready at home, in cars and at work. - The recommended kit should be accessible for quick evacuation and prepared for the possibility of being away from home for several days. - The kit may be called a grab bag, disaster bag or go bag. - The bag should be light enough to carry and easy to lift into a vehicle. - Annual checks are suggested so food and water stay stocked and ready to use.
Between the lines: - The push for a free guide reflects a broader emphasis on household preparedness as extreme weather and other hazards become part of everyday planning. - Fischer framed the project as a way to help people leave safely and be more comfortable if they end up in a shelter.
What's next: - Homeowners and renters can request the free copy through Go Bag USA. - The company is promoting the guide through its website and social media, including a Facebook post.
The bottom line: - The new guide is a free, practical checklist-style resource for people who want to prepare before disaster strikes.
