Disasters can strike at any time with little
or no warning and leave people and property in shambles.
Here in the Northwest, we face a number of other potential catastrophes
including: earthquake, wildfire, windstorm, winter weather and
tsunamis. The best way to improve your chances of surviving a
disaster is to develop a sound plan that will help your family

disaster.
