Disasters don't plan ahead, but you can! They often occur with little notice and have devastating consequences for individuals and communities. In these situations, it is crucial to have a plan in place to minimize the impact and recover as quickly as possible.

Ulster County, in conjunction with Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) of Ulster County, has developed a bank of resources to help you, your family, and your community prepare for potential weather-related disasters.

Explore the resources below and take the necessary steps to prepare yourself for the unexpected.
