Personal & Household Preparedness

• Being prepared personally and as a family is foundational. If a major disaster strikes, community emergency services may be temporarily stretched thin, making individual readiness a critical asset. Knowing standard emergency procedures and having the necessary supplies on hand helps your family manage a crisis safely and effectively.


• Basic First Aid and CPR are invaluable life skills that may be needed at any time, not just in a major disaster. IPERC provides resource connections to help individuals find local certification courses, and offers planning frameworks to help your House of Worship coordinate its own independent, host-led member training events.


• Having basic equipment and supplies readily accessible makes a significant difference. IPERC provides curated checklists and resource guides outlining the essential items that should be part of every household's independent emergency supply kit.
