Habitat for Humanity will participate in the 12th session of the World Urban Forum convened by UN-Habitat in Cairo from Nov. 4-8, 2024. In line with the forum’s theme, “It All Starts at Home: Local Actions for Sustainable Cities and Communities,” Habitat will showcase five models of urban intervention that have transformed communities worldwide.
Disasters can strike at any moment, with little notice. In order to protect your home and family, it is important to be prepared.
A disaster supply kit includes items your family might need to survive in the event of a disaster. You can purchase a pre-assembled emergency supply kit or create your own.
Because you might not have much time to evacuate when a disaster strikes, it is important to have a plan in place to get your family out of danger quickly and efficiently.
As more people are building their homes in woodland settings, wildfires have become increasingly dangerous. In order to protect your family, home and property, it is important to prepare before a wildfire strikes.
Volcanic eruptions may be subtle or explosive and can produce dangerous lava flows, poisonous gases, and flying rocks and ash. Many volcanic eruptions are also accompanied by other natural hazards. If you live near a volcano, active or dormant, be prepared to act on short notice.
