Emergency Preparedness Check List.






Below is a check list Epicenter has compiled to

help you prepare for an emergency. Each major category from our

 "How to Prepare for an emergency" list is represented in a short form listing below. You can click on the

link above to see the complete list, or use the button in the menu below.



If you have read the complete "How to" list but have forgotten the details on a specific item on the check list below, just click on the empty box next to the item. This will take you to item specific information from our "How to list."



We hope you will check off each box as you have completed the item as in the example below:
