About
Anthony Salgado and Erin Perkins with the Rappahannock Health District talk about what it really means to be prepared when an emergency happens. Having food, water and essential supplies on hand is important—but true preparedness also means knowing where to get reliable information, having a plan for your household, understanding your community’s resources, preparing for health and medical needs, and knowing how to respond when normal services may be disrupted. Emergencies can happen with little warning. Taking a few steps now can make a big difference when you need to act.
