Be Informed about what might happen

Some of the things you can do to prepare for the unexpected, such as assembling a supply kit and developing a family communications plan, are the same for both a natural disaster or a manmade disaster.  However, there are significant differences among potential terrorist threats, such as biological, chemical, explosive, nuclear and radiological, which will impact the decisions you make and the actions you take.  By beginning a process of learning about these specific threats, you are preparing yourself to react in an emergency.
