Family Disaster Supply Checklist July 2014 Each month the Los Angeles Emergency Management Department (EMD) provides emergency preparedness information, drills, and exercises. This months focus is on creating a Family Disaster Supply Checklist. An earthquake’s damage can extend for miles from the epicenter. Damage can range from collapsed buildings, bridges, overpasses, and roadways, to downed power and gas lines, fires, explosions, and landslides. In the event of a catastrophic earthquake, it is imperative that individuals prepare themselves for self-sufficiency in case rescuers are delayed in their response. In this month’s bulletin, with the support of Councilmen Tom LaBonge and Mitchell Englander, the City of Los Angeles Emergency Management Department (EMD) will highlight some essential items that should be contained in a Disaster Supply Kit.
