The 1 page brief provides information about security levels, contacting friends and family after an emergency, monthly messages, situational awareness links, and emergency management designated staff.

After a major disaster, federal assistance will not be available for up to 72 hours. The Federal Emergency Management Agency recommends that everybody have an emergency kit ready for an unforeseen disaster. FEMA has published a checklist of recommended items here, but it is important to remember that this is your emergency kit - this is just a basic list of suggestions that should be modified to your personal needs. FEMA recommends that everyone have a three-day kit at home, a one-day kit at work, and a one-day kit in the car. An earthquake cannot be predicted, but it can be prepared for - during an emergency, you will be thankful you took the time to prepare beforehand.
