However, there are some very simple things that you can do to prepare yourself and your family. Give yourself the peace of mind of knowing that you prepared for whatever comes your way.
Make use of the resources we offer here to help you and if you have further questions, call us at (801) 373-8580.

Make a plan

Make a planIt is vital that you have a plan in place of how to communicate and meet with your family and loved ones during and after a disaster. Come up with several meeting places and an out-of-state contact person that can relay messages for you.

Build a kit

Build a kitIt is very possible that you will need to rely on yourself and your own supplies for a period of time after a disaster. In a lightweight and mobile container, pack food, water and basic supplies for each member of your family. We suggest storing one kit at home and another smaller kit in each vehicle you own.

Get trained
