You Can Prepare
for Disasters
These Emergency Guidelines are provided with funding
from the California Department of Health Services
And
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

 
The Yuba City Fire Department and Fire Analyst III William Fuller
have provided the core of this Family Disaster Preparedness Guide
 

The You Can Prepare for Disaster is a collaborative effort on the part of the 13 Northern California Health Departments that comprise OES Region III. Spearheaded by Glenn County Health Services using carryover bioterrorism preparedness funding, “You Can Prepare for Disaster” is the web portion of a mass media public service announcement (PSA) campaign. The 30 second radio and television PSAs were produced in such a manner as to allow them to be applicable to all of California with the goal being increased public awareness of the importance of family disaster planning. The information contained on this website was provided primarily by the Office of Emergency Services, California Department of Forestry and Fire Prevention and the Yuba City Fire Department. Other contributors include the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), American Red Cross (ARC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), e-medicine Online and the Bioterrorism and Disaster Coordinators who represent the public health departments in OES Region III.

These are general emergency guidelines for all persons in Region III.
