Shelter Plan
A shelter plan helps you prepare for a variety of safe locations following a disaster. Whether you shelter inside or outside your home, in a community shelter, or with family and friends, you need to be prepared to shelter for up to two weeks following a disaster.

Emergency Management
Emergency management agencies at the federal, state, and local levels help protect people and places during disasters.
Emergency managers partner with the public to help everyone be prepared. Building prepared communities means knowing what support you may or may not receive from emergency managers and first responders after a disaster and planning accordingly. Know where to go when the official response doesn’t meet all your needs.
