Emergencies occur every day, and they can be fatal if they catch you unprepared. Especially during a natural disaster, good emergency preparation might make a life-saving difference.
Of course, the requirements of emergency preparation vary depending on time, location, and events. Some geographical locations are more prone to certain kinds of disasters than others. People living in low-lying coastal areas need to pay more attention to potential floods. Homes near forests should be more aware of the danger of fires. And people living along tectonic fault lines should prepare for earthquakes.
