Be Prepared

Unfortunately, we have experienced a series of disasters in recent years in our county and it is important to be prepared. Here are a list of resources you should review to be better prepared for the future.

Make A Plan

Villa Los Alamos Plan

  • Disaster Planning Committee Our complex has a committee devoted to exploring and preparing for potential disasters. It is a work in progress and more information will be provided as it is available.

  • Emergency Preparedness Information-Handout

Individual and Family Planning

  • Red Cross They provide ready made templates for designing your own family disaster Plan. It includes thinking about procedures for specific disasters, who to contact, where to go if you have to evacuate, etc.

Build A Kit

If a mandatory evacuation is issued, time is often short. Having a prepared bag of necessary items that can be grabbed quickly will give you both piece of mind and the ability to leave quickly. There are many basic lists out there, but you should design one that fits to your individual needs. Design your bag based upon your likely destination. You are most likely going to stay with friends, family or a hotel. Worst case you will be staying at one of the nearby evacuation centers like the Veteran's building or fairgrounds.

  • Ready.gov This site provides the basics for what to include in a kit.

  • Fatherly Article This is a great article that discusses both ready made and Do It Yourself go bags.

  • Survival Bag This article discusses the various options for a survival bag, which is more designed for the collapse of all services. For those who liked to be prepared for everything, including the zombie apocalypse, this is the route you should investigate.
