Personal/Family Preparedness

Developing a preparedness plan for all hazards is a simple
process which begins with identifying your risk.  

After you've identified your risk, follow some of these tips to better
prepare yourself, family, and your home against Pasco County's
hazards.

Obvious hazards that contribute directly to your risk can be  
reduced through mitigation.

Some hazards include:

- Large old trees
- Clogged storm drains
- Yard waste and trash cans
- Airborne wind hazards (patio furniture, children's toys)
- Overgrown trees around power lines

Human vulnerability: The relative lack of
capacity of a person or social group to
anticipate, cope with, resist, and recover
from the impact of a hazard. Individuals
who are low-income or elderly have a
higher human vulnerability.

Physical vulnerability: The extent to
which a structure or service is likely to be
damaged or disrupted by a hazard
event. Mobile trailers and manufactured
homes have a greater vulnerability than
those constructed of brick/stone.
