FEMA Tip of the Week

"Over half a billion dollars a day is being spent by FEMA" - Thad Cochran

Recently I discovered that FEMA offers a Tip of Week site. I've been on a FEMA email list for ages and somehow managed to miss this fact. Check out: http://www.fema.gov/privatesector/tips.shtm

Recents Tips include:

• Develop and practice for emergencies at work with employees by reviewing your office emergency plan. www.ready.gov/business/plan/emerplanning.html.


• Create an emergency plan for your organization’s financial and critical records. Click here to develop an emergency financial aid kit: www.operationhope.org/smdev/lf1.php?id=187


• Prepare your employees before, during and after an earthquake with FEMA Earthquake tips. www.fema.gov/hazard/earthquake/index.shtm

• Place a weather radio or television in an accessible place to readily monitor severe weather conditions. View active weather alerts at http://www.noaa.gov/
