The Palo Alto Office of Emergency Services would like to take this opportunity to remind our neighbors, constituents and friends that: - While most disasters are unpredictable, preparations to lessen their effect are critical
- The typical time for outside assistance to reach an impacted area is 72 to 96 hours, if reasonable access to the area exists All households should maintain a stock of emergency supplies that will last a minimum of 72 hours. The most important of these emergency supplies will be drinking water. (One gallon, per person, per day)
- Establish a meeting point for your family and an out of area phone contact for coordination and information
- Become active in Palo Alto's Neighborhood Disaster Activities (PANDA). This is our Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). This course certifies you as a team member that will augment professional responders in the event of a disaster
