September is National Preparedness month and the Nebraska Emergency management Agency is reminding residents to have a survival plan in place in case of a disaster.
NEMA Manager Earl Imler says when disasters like floods or blizzards strike, residents should be prepared to look after themselves for at least 72 hours …

Imler says in an emergency scenario everyone in a household needs to know the game plan; especially children.

Imler says typical emergency kits include survival necessities like food water and medications. In case of an evacuation scenario, Imler says you should also include money, identification and a change of clothes.
