Be Prepared
The likelihood of you and your family surviving a house fire depends as much on you having a working smoke detector and an exit strategy, as well as a well trained fire department. The same is true for surviving a terrorist attack. We must have the tools and plans in place to make it on our own, at least for a period of time, no matter where we are when disaster strikes.
