1. Earthquake
2. Flood
3. Hurricane
4. Tornado
5. Fire
6. Radiation
7. Disease

Being prepared for such events can greatly increase your chances of safety. The NSC, as well as Federal agencies recommend general safety practices that can make the world of difference in the event of a disaster.

• Ensure a family or workplace communication plan is available for training, practice, and implementation.
• Understand safety contact information in the event of a disaster wether it be employers, family, or other.
• Keep an emergency readiness kit in your home, vehicle, workplace, and other convenient locations, as well as at least three-days of food and water.
• Safely store important documents so they are readily available and unharmed.
• Assign multiple employees or family members to know CPR and other first aid capabilities.
• Understand where and how to properly shut off utilities that may be at risk during a disaster.

Planning for a natural or man-made disaster can be the difference between life-and-death. Follow the NSC guidelines at the above link and implement general safety practices in your home and workplace.
