A disaster or emergency can strike at any time without any warning. Natural disasters affect millions of people around the world each year, and have affected Southern Utah residents in the past on numerous occasions. The City of Santa Clara recognizes it is essential for residents to stay informed and prepared in the event of an emergency. Please take time to recognize possible hazards that could affect your area, and learn what to do to protect yourself and your family before and after an event. Here are three beginning steps to the preparedness process:

1. Get a Kit
2. Make a Plan
3. Stay Informed

For additional information on how to develop an emergency plan please visit Ready.gov, Be Ready Utah, and Washington County Emergency Services web pages.
