Overview

As an Alaskan, you know how important it is to be prepared for harsh weather, including snowstorms, floods, and extreme cold. But you may not have considered the impact of a large-scale disaster—such as an earthquake, tsunami, or volcanic eruption—could have on us and our communities.

Regardless of your gender, race, or disability, planning for emergencies such as windstorms, earthquakes, or fires is an important part of taking care of yourself. People with disabilities may have special needs to consider in an emergency. If you have a disability, it may require extra planning to handle an emergency. ​
