Why Prepare?
Individuals residing in areas prone to
natural and man-made hazards should
prioritize disaster preparedness. ​
​
Ultimately, being prepared is vital for ensuring personal safety during disasters and emergencies.
​Preparedness is essential for saving lives.
A well-constructed action plan
significantly boosts the safety of you and
your loved ones during a crises.
​Adequate preparation can help alleviate
feelings of anxiety and panic; and mitigate
the overwhelming stress brought on by
disasters or emergencies.
Being Prepared Saves Lives!

Motivating people to prepare for disasters is challenging. That is why WSF has worked hard to develop a Free Workshop Series with a new approach that is practical, simple, productive and at the same time fun. At the end of the Disaster Preparedness Workshop, we want you to breathe a sigh of relief, knowing you are prepared for an emergency or disaster.
Littlest Disaster Plan
WSF realized that families may not be able to attend our full Disaster Preparedness Workshops, so we developed a shorter version, which involves our Littles community members - the kids. Together parents and kids develop a disaster plan. Taught in a manner that includes the Littlest family members through interaction and involvement.
This program is still under development
and will be launched in 2025.
Check back for updates!
WSF witnessed first hand the generosity and compassion our community showed to one another when faced with a crisis. To help prepare for the next emergency or disaster, WSF is developing several programs that help train our community members to help first responders during emergency or disaster. Below are several programs that we are in the process of fully developing and are looking forward to providing to our community.

Volunteer
Volunteers are an invaluable asset during disasters. WSF recognizes the immeasurable impact they have on the lives of Disaster Survivors, filling countless needs from providing a shoulder to cry on, preparing meals, providing transportation, hammering nails in a new home, translating, rescuing stranded pets, collecting and distributing clothing, answering phones and showing through their selfless actions there are really good people in our community.
