Preparedness takes the form of plans or procedures designed to save lives and to minimize damage when an emergency occurs. Planning, training and disaster drills are essential elements of preparedness. These activities ensure that when a disaster strikes, emergency managers will be able to provide the best response possible. Disasters are caused by gale force winds, floods, releases of deadly chemicals, fire, ice, earthquakes and other natural and mand-made hazards. When disaster strikes, the best protection is knowing what to do.
