" Terrorism

forces us

to make

a choice.

We can be afraid.

          Or, we can be ready."
     - Secretary Tom Ridge, U.S. Department of Homeland Security

Preparing makes Sense.

The likelihood that you and your family will survive a house fire depends as much on having a working smoke detector and an exit strategy, as on a well-trained fire department. The same is true for surviving a terrorist attack. We must have the tools and plans in place to make it on our own, at least for a period of time, no matter where we are when disaster strikes. Just like having a working smoke detector, preparing for the unexpected makes sense.

Get ready now.

In partnership with the US Postal Service, Citizen Corps, and the US Department of Homeland Security, the Salvation Army is offering a flyer containing this common sense framework designed to launch a process of learning about citizen preparedness.
