Are You Ready?: Emergency Preparedness Video
This video explains how to prepare in the event of a major emergency such as flooding or a disaster such as an earthquake or fire. Also included is information on Del Mar Community Connections' Neighborhood Emergency Support Team (NEST). This program matches volunteers with those who need assistance during an emergency. There is also a section on Utility emergency planning.

Build a Kit
After a major disaster the usual services we take for granted, such as running water, refrigeration, and telephones, may be unavailable. Experts recommend that you should be prepared to be self-sufficient for at least three days.

Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)
-
Have a Meeting
At least once a year, have a meeting with your family to discuss and upgrade your disaster plan and determine what training, equipment, and supplies are needed. Occasional drills will assure quick reaction and avoid injury and panic in an emergency.
-
Make a Plan
After a major disaster, it is unlikely that emergency response services will be able to immediately respond to everyone’s needs, so it’s important to be prepared to take care of yourself and your family. Plan to be on your own for at least the first 72 hours. Complete the Office of Emergency Services Personal Disaster Plan.
