We were unprepared for such a DISASTER . If we had only taken a few simple steps to prepare ourselves for such an event, we could have eliminated many of the hardships we had to are just like many of you. Some of us are in good health but aren t quite as agile as we used to be. Some of us have hearing or vision problems; others use a cane or wheelchair. Whatever our limitations, we still need to be prepared. We can be prepared! To avoid getting caught unprepared, we urge you to immediately review the enclosed information and fill in the appropriate local emergency numbers.
