The document provides information from Norman Patton, owner of Safety Services, on disaster preparedness and safety training. It discusses the importance of being prepared for emergencies by having supplies to last 72 hours, knowing first aid and CPR, and having an evacuation plan. It notes that government assistance may take days to arrive so individuals need to be self-reliant in the first 72 hours. Safety Services offers training in first aid, CPR, AED certification and facilitation of safety planning for organizations.

Editor's Notes
- Only 22 percent of Californians consider themselves to be prepared or very prepared for a disaster in their area. Type of Disaster: 1. Corporate, Community Wide 2. Partnership, your company or family 3. Individual, you! Whatever the scope, your are guaranteed to have a disaster as some point in your life. The Disaster may involve you as a participant or a responder, How prepared are you for either? In my life I have been a responder and a participant. 1. St. Louis Flood, of 1993 2. Kenai River Flood, Alaska 1995 3. Fargo, North Dakota - 1997 Alaska Airlines - Oxnard 2001
- Emergencies and disasters can strike quickly and without warning and can force you to evacuate your neighborhood or confine you to your home. You can cope with disaster by preparing in advance and by working with your family and fellow employees as a team. Make a plan.

- Emergencies affect people differently. Some become Givers and want to help. Others become takers and are only concerned about survival. It is the Fight or Flight mechanism in effect.
- They recognize risk, but they often assume it will happen to someone else. They acknowledge that they aren't prepared, but they can't find the motivation to strap their water heaters, clear dry brush or prepare a home inventory." "Clearly, it is critical for us as an industry to find ways to encourage consumers to get better prepared for natural disasters -- both physically and financially,"
- Nearly equal percentages of those polled considered the state to be both best prepared (35 percent) for earthquakes and least prepared (30 percent) for earthquakes among the disasters the state faces.
