Disaster Preparedness
Huntington Hospital is committed to assisting our community in the event
of a disaster. Our disaster preparedness team trains throughout the year
so that we can be prepared to serve our patients and community in a variety
of situations that might arise.
We also encourage everyone in the community to take action now so you can
“survive and thrive” in a real emergency. Check out our Survive
& Thrive PDF with helpful information to prepare for a disaster

According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), disaster readiness
can be made manageable by taking it one step at a time: Start by learning
your specific risk, then gather supplies for an emergency kit, and then
develop a family communications plan.
Because most disasters occur without any warning, developing a comprehensive
plan in the case of an emergency is essential.

please visit the American Red Cross "Prepare SoCal" page or the
Department of Homeland Security page.
We know that it can be difficult to prepare for every possible scenario,
but the better your preparation, the safer you and your family will be
should disaster strike.
