HELP System for Emergency Response
Powerful storms and disasters are continuing to rip through our nation. Floods, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, snow and ice events, spills, and earthquakes affect thousands each year.
To help you prepare, we’ve created the HELP program – Homeowner Emergency Localized Plan – a simple, customizable tool to help you organize a plan before, during, and after an emergency.
Be sure to check out our new guide, Emergency Preparedness for Homeowners with Water Wells, and our companion visual, Emergency Kit Essentials, which highlights must-have items to keep your family and water supply safe.
Learn more about Emergencies & Disasters and Wells, and take action now to protect your water well before disaster strikes.
