  Disaster Preparedness Resources

Disasters often strike quickly and without warning. They can force you to evacuate your neighborhood or confine you to your home. What would you do if basic services--water, gas, electricity or telephones--were cut off? Local officials and relief workers are on scene after a disaster, but they cannot reach everyone immediately.

The best way to make sure your loved ones and your home are safe is to be prepared before disaster strikes. The links below provide information on how to prepare yourself and your family for a disaster.
 
 

For more information, call 412-263-3100 and ask to speak with someone in our emergency services department.
