NEW HOME SAFETY COUNCIL(R) RESEARCH SHOWS MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN FEEL PREPARED FOR DISASTERS, BUT FEW HAVE TAKEN ACTION

September 07, 2007

New research commissioned by the national nonprofit Home Safety Council (HSC) finds that while a majority of mothers have talked with their children about preparing for emergencies, very few have taken action to ensure that their family is prepared to respond in the event of an emergency. As part of its effort to underscore the importance of family readiness during National Preparedness Month, the Home Safety Council is releasing findings from the new survey which assesses how ready U.S. families really are when it comes to emergency situations.
