Tips for handling food following a disaster

If any type of unexpected emergency strikes your community, you may not have access to fresh food, water or electricity for days, maybe weeks. This web page is a portal site that will provide you with useful information so you can be prepared when an emergency strikes. Remember, preparation is the key!

On this web page, we’re providing information by type of emergency, i.e., hurricane, flood, fire; and specific tips for food and water safety in an emergency.

FEMA has a FREE email subscription service that delivers news updates and disaster-related information directly to your computer or wireless device.  Click here to sign up.
