During National Preparedness Month, the Los Angeles Fire Department asks you to...

Understand that during an emergency you may be asked to shelter-in-place or evacuate. Plan for both possibilities and prepare those in your household and workplace to listen for instructions from local public safety officials.

In fact, now would be a good time to pre-set local news stations on every car, home and personal radio - and to learn about social media services (such as @LAFD on Twitter) and other systems that may be used to keep you informed.
