- W4200419586 abstract "Emergencies happen anytime, anywhere. For example: Devastating hurricanes include Katrina (2005), Harvey (2017), Sandy (2012), and Ida (2021). Three severe winter storms that swept across the U.S. in February 2021 caused a massive electricity generation failure in Texas, leading to shortages of water, food, and heat. At least 210 people were killed directly or indirectly, with some estimates as high as 702 killed as a result of the crisis. The U.S. experienced an “atmospheric river” resulting in severe rain and flooding in California, Oregon, and Washington in October 2021, just one of over 30 incidents of catastrophic, deadly flooding in half the states of the U.S. in 2021. Nov. 5, 2021, the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) reported a total of 48,725 wildfires across the country that had burned over 6.5 million acres in 2021. These are just some of the emergencies that happen each year. The chances of surviving these emergencies increase dramatically if you are prepared. What does it mean to be prepared? Knowing the emergency events most likely to occur where you live and work. Knowing the local or state emergency preparedness agencies and the resources they provide. What’s it to me? When a disaster hits, emergency responders are often swamped by multiple needs of the community. Search and rescue operations such as food, water, and medical attention for the survivors are just a few of the responsibilities of responders in an emergency. Emergency preparedness for individuals means taking responsibility for your own needs when the disaster comes to your neighborhood, in case emergency responders cannot reach you right away. But what if I have a hearing loss? Make plans that match your needs. That includes preparing for having a hearing loss and making sure your personal emergency kit includes what you need to accommodate your hearing loss. Check with your state and local offices of emergency management to find the emergency plans and resources for your area. Check FEMA’s Tips for People Who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. Individuals with Disabilities-Ready.gov Keeping informed Now that you are prepared, how will you know when an event is close to home? For weather emergencies, having a NOAA weather radio with visual alerts could literally be a lifesaver. Does your community provide text emergency alerts that you can sign up for? Sign up today! Can you hear the radio? Battery-powered radios can keep you informed of the events in real time. Does your local television station provide captions in an emergency? Portable, battery-operated televisions provide captioned breaking news during emergencies. Stream local and national news on your computer, tablet, or smartphone. Be sure to have battery backup. After the event When the emergency is over, will you have what it takes to take care of yourself for several days if there is little or no available food, water, ATMs, medications, even heat or air conditioning in your community? Be sure to have a backup plan if the power goes out for extended time, or the tap water is not safe to drink. Make sure you have the information you need to take care of yourself after the event is over, including how to access help from FEMA. Watch out for scams. Emergency preparedness isn’t complex; it’s simply a matter of thinking ahead and gathering what you need well before an emergency occurs.
