On Sunday evening, we had the most powerful earthquake in Arkansas in 35 years. It even made the New York Times! The Arkansas Department of Emergency Management has provided a page with helpful tips to help you get prepared, in case the next earthquake is even bigger.
Earthquakes aren't the only natural disasters that hit Arkansas - we also get tornadoes, fires, floods, and the occasional ice storm. The best way to stay safe in such events is to be prepared. The Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) has information about disaster preparedness kits, for home, work and school.
Spring is on its way here in Arkansas. Why don't you take some time out of your spring cleaning to make an emergency kit for your family?
