program are as follows: A disaster is a disruption of
major infrastructure. Flagler has only
had minor inconveniences, no major disruptions to the infrastructure. Katrina was a true natural disaster. You can go to http://floridadisaster.org/family
to have a plan prepared for you and your family. In the guide on page 7 there is a 12 weeks
Home Emergency Preparedness plan. He
recommends that every family complete this plan so in case of an emergency we
are prepared in advance and not preparing at the last moment. Hazards discussed in the
guide are hurricanes, thunderstorms, tornadoes, flood and fire. Mr. Harper
recommends that every house had a NOAA Weather Alert Radio. These can be purchased in most any store. On page 11 of the guide is
