Become emergency prepared

  • Have an Emergency Plan
  • Have an Emergency Communications Plan
    • Stay in touch if you get separated from family, friends and household members.  Create an Emergency Communications Plan from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to guide you.
  • Have a Disaster Supply Kit
  • Take an emergency preparedness class
    Periodically, the City of Tempe and neighboring cities offer a hands-on course for the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). This course can show you how to work with neighbors and others before first responders arrive.
