EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

These pages provide links to various documents intended to provide the user with information about preparing for the various types of disasters and emergencies that could affect him/her. Some of the information was developed by TEMA or other state government agencies, but links are provided to federally-produced information as well as various sources in the private sector. There is no way TEMA could duplicate all of these resources in-house, so links to other sites are provided when available to allow the user to have access to as much information as possible.

If you are aware of other sources of information that you feel might be beneficial to the public, please feel free to let us know. State policy prohibits us from providing links to commercial sites (other than certain types of non-profit organizations).
