Ready In 3
Emergencies happen whether it is a tornado, flood, house fire, or an ice storm. The most important idea to remember is to be prepared before an emergency occurs. The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services has developed an emergency program called Ready In 3. There are three vital steps to the Ready In 3 plan:
- Create a plan for you, your family, and your business.
- Prepare a kit for your home, car, and work.
- Listen for information about what to do and where to go during an actual emergency.
