Be Prepared.

Do you know what you need to survive at home without power for at least 72 hours? Or what to take with you if you had to leave in a hurry? Emergency and Community Response professionals will show you how to prepare for these threatening situations. Plus, they'll arm you with a free Survivor Starter Kit.
Presented by the Central Virginia Urban Area Security Initiative.
