None of us likes to talk about
what may happen, especially when
talking about our families. But,
Orange County can face any type
of emergency - from earthquakes,
floods, landslides and fires to
tsunamis, manmade threats and
health epidemics. We all need to
know how to respond and prepare
to help our own household take
control of any emergency
situation.
Knowing what may threaten Orange
County will help you and your
family better prepare. Learn
more about the potential threats
to our communities.

Natural Disasters
Some of the things you can do to
prepare for the unexpected, such
as making an emergency supply
kit and developing a family
communications plan, are the
same for all emergencies.
However, there are important
differences among natural
disasters that will impact the
decisions you make and the
actions you take. Some natural
disasters are easily predicted,
others happen without warning.
Planning what to do in advance
is an important part of being
prepared.

Manmade Threats
Manmade threats may involve
devastating acts using weapons
of mass destruction ranging from
chemical agents, biological
hazards, a radiological or
nuclear device, and other
explosives. The primary
objective of a manmade threat is
to create widespread fear.
Because of the nature of manmade
threats, there is no place in
the United States, including
Orange County, that is not a
target in the future. Our
County's law enforcement and
safety personnel are some of the
most highly trained and
top-rated officials in the
nation. But, we all must be
aware of the potential of
manmade threats.
