What would I do if basic services such as water, gas, electricity or telephones were cut off? Imagine bridges collapsed and highways impassable.

You can be safer during an emergency if you make a plan and are prepared before disaster strikes. The Fire Department's Emergency Preparedness Division provides educational materials, training and resources here.

News Flash: E-mails are circulating that claim people should do something other than "drop, cover and hold" in an earthquake. The claim is false. The Bellevue Fire Department, the American Red Cross and the Federal Emergency Management Agency agree: The best way to protect yourself from injury during an earthquake is still to drop to the floor, take cover under a sturdy desk or table and hold on to it firmly.

Reverse 911
The reverse 911 system allows emergency messages to sent simultaneously to all phones in a preprogrammed area. When someone answers the phone, the recording identifies itself as "Reverse 911" and provides information about fires, chemical spills, gas leaks or other emergencies. Sign up for reverse 911.
