What would you 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.

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.
