We are all dismayed at the
events of September 11, 2001 and after. How can we be safe? Henrico
County’s excellent Division of Fire has prepared a
Community Disaster Preparedness Manual(pdf, 143 kb), which covers many
kinds of disasters, including hurricanes, winter storms, and terrorism.
The manual includes lists of things to do before and during an emergency,
and lists of things you might want to have on hand.
Here is the Spanish version:
Manual de Preparacióomunal para casos de desastres(PDF).
