IS ANYBODY READY? 1/08/07

IS ANYBODY READY TO SURVIVE EMERGENCIES/DISASTERS/TERRORIST ATTACKS?

New York State government? The City of Albany or other local governments? Neighborhood associations, churches, synagogues, schools, health acre providers, businesses, employers? Individual households?

DO NOT BET YOUR LIFE ON IT?

State government and Congress are in transition as political power has shifted and reorganization takes place. This process takes time and leaves us particularly vulnerable in the event of disasters and/or terrorist attacks.

Day One has come and gone. Politicians and the media appear focused on petty politics, political power struggles, and special interest group agendas; all of which will be immediately irrelevant when disasters or terror attacks occur. Then it will be too late!

Each of us is responsible for our own survival and that of our loved ones.

Do not delay another day in becoming informed about what you and your loved ones can do to increase the odds of survival in the event of disasters or terror attacks.

For starters, here are a few useful websites. Consult them, download useful information, share it with family, friends and neighbors who may not have computer access/skills. Above all, apply what you learn NOW.

U S Homeland Security     www.ready.gov

American Red Cross         www.redcrossneny.org/

                                            www.redcross.org/services/disaster/beprepared/

Albany County                   www.albanycounty.com/

Encourage local media to publish articles, information, present programs, psa's and newstime spots relating to preparing for and surviving emergencies, disasters and terrorist attacks.

Watch this site for more information and comments.
