LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Nebraska state officials are advising residents to prepare for emergencies and natural disasters before they hit.
Gov. Dave Heineman says residents should create disaster supply kits and take steps so they can care for family members for up to 72 hours. The governor on Wednesday declared September as Nebraska Preparedness Month.
Maj. Gen. Daryl Bohac, adjutant general of the Nebraska National Guard, says preparation is important given the tornadoes, floods and fires that have struck the state in the last few years.
The Nebraska Emergency Management Agency says multiple websites are available to help residents plan, including www.ready.gov and www.bereadynebraska.com .
