There are real benefits to being prepared . Being prepared can reduce fear, anxiety, and losses that accompany disasters . Communities, families, and individuals should know what to do in the event of fires or tornados. They should be ready to evacuate their homes and know how to care for their basic medical needs. People also can reduce the impact of disasters and sometimes avoid the danger completely . The need to prepare is real . Disasters disrupt hundreds of thousands of lives every year . Each disaster has lasting effects , both to people and property. If a disaster occurs in your community, local government and disaster-relief organizations will try to help you, but you need to be ready as well . You should know how to respond to severe weather or any disaster that could occur in your area - hurricanes, earthquakes, extreme cold, flooding, or terrorism .
