This program is one family’s story on how they got prepared.  It is designed to allow you to fully experience what they did and to consider how their actions apply to your situation. Like the family in the video, we hope that you take steps to be prepared and like them are able to say "YES, we are ready." 

Following the program, we have included two additional family preparedness segments that may help you and your family in the future:
1.)  An instructional video to explain the steps to follow in setting up a portable generator as an effective power supply, while minimizing the risk of fire and eliminating carbon monoxide fumes
2.)And the final segment looks at flash floods, and provides insight into the terrible danger these floods can create in just minutes.
