Immediately after an emergency, essential services may be cut off and local disaster relief and government responders may not be able to reach you right away. Even if they could reach you, knowing what to do to protect yourself and your household is essential.

The City of Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services has created Emergency Planning guides to help you take one of the most important steps you can take in preparing for emergencies> These gauides are available in English, Spanish and Khmer.
