Have you ever wondered what your options were if a disaster were to occur. I have not given it one thought, mainly because I am like many Americans who just believes that it is not going to happen to me. Since we have been in the Emergency Preparedness business we have come to realize that there are many agencies that will help in such crises. Here is the link for your information:

This will take you to FEMA’s home page and give you directions and information regarding disasters and recovery. From stress management assistance to housing options this website goes into great detail for you. Hurricane Katrina was a very tragic event for many, but what came from her was an agency that helps individuals cope with the events following a disaster. Some may argue that FEMA is not perfect and that may be somewhat true however, FEMA is better than what we had before.
