Disaster Preparedness

 Updated 3/2017--photos and all links removed as many are no longer active and it was easier than checking each one.

I received this brochure from my state medical society. I'm listing all the links (which I have checked) here so that I can use my Evernote to save them for easy access. Many of them would be useful no matter which state (or country) you live in.
