Why Keep a Printed Emergency Guide?

During major disasters and extended power outages, internet access and cellular service may become unreliable or unavailable. A printed preparedness guide provides information you can access without electricity, batteries, or a network connection.

Nature's Threat Preparedness Tip

Keep printed emergency information with your household emergency supplies. Books and printed reference materials can complement emergency alerts, weather radios, evacuation plans, and other preparedness resources.

Preparedness information should supplement—not replace—official emergency instructions. During an emergency, always follow guidance from local authorities and emergency management agencies.
