Our Prepare in a Year program helps you get ready for disasters, like large-scale earthquakes that isolate us from outside help for weeks or longer. By tackling one simple task per month, you can get your household in good shape by the end of a year.

The task for November is to is to learn key skills. The most obvious of these are CPR/AED, Stop the Bleed, and First Aid. But you also need to learn how to shut off your propane and water.
