Community Preparedness

Emergencies can range from the inconvenient to the devastating. But families and businesses can take some simple preparedness steps in advance to minimize the impact on our communities. The Kentucky Office of Homeland Security is working to ensure that families, businesses, schoolchildren, special-needs and vulnerable populations have the resources they need to be prepared for the unexpected.

Three simple steps to protect your family in any emergency: make a family emergency plan, prepare an emergency supply kit, and get involved in Kentucky’s Citizen Corps training and volunteer program.
