4. If trapped in your car during a snowstorm, what's the best strategy?

A. Leave your car to get help

B. Raise your car hood to attract attention¸ crack the window and
warm the engine

C. Put your blinkers on¸ and avoid running the engine to preserve gas

Correct! B.
Leaving your car during a storm can be dangerous, so only leave if you can see help. Otherwise, raise the hood to attract attention and run the car's engine for 10 minutes each hour to keep warm, making sure to clear the exhaust pipe of snow to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. Conserve battery power by turning on the lights only when the engine is running


5. To keep cool in excessive heat, you should drink very cold water.
A. True
B. False

Correct = False
Drinking chilled water in excessive heat can lead to stomach cramps. Instead, drink room temperature water before you're thirsty, and steer clear of liquids that contain alcohol and large amounts of sugar. Sport drinks will keep you hydrated and replenish salt and minerals that you lose when you sweat.

6. In the event of an emergency, which agencies will accept your pets?
A. The Red Cross and the Humane Society of the United States
B. FEMA and The Humane Society of the United States
C. FEMA and The Red Cross

Correct = A
Although you can't take your pets with you to Red Cross shelters, the Red Cross and Humane Society will set up places where you can keep your pets. Make sure to pack an emergency kit for them similar to the one you've packed for yourself, including food, ID and any medications.

7. What are the signs of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning?
A. Headache¸ dizziness¸ weakness¸ nausea¸ vomiting¸ chest pain and confusion
B. Loss of feeling in your limbs and uncontrollable shivering
C. CO poisioning has no visible signs

That is correct! A
Accidental CO poisoning kills 500 people each year. If you are experiencing headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, chest pain and confusion, you should seek help immediately. Never use generators, grills, camp stoves or other gasoline or charcoal-burning devices inside your home or garage, and make sure to have at least one carbon monoxide detector in your home.


8. How many gallons of water will fit in the average bathtub?
A. 25
B. 12
C. 36

You are correct! C
A bathtub can hold 36 or more gallons of water, depending on its size.

9. How should you prep your home for a wildfire?

A. Shut off gas at the meter and turn off pilot lights

B. Place sprinklers on the roof, wetting it along with shrubs that are 15 feet inside your home's perimeter

C. Move flammable furniture to the center of the house and turn a light on in each room

D. All of the above

You are correct! D
Although homeowner fatalities in wildfires are rare, an average of 2,070 structures were destroyed between 1999 and 2006. Preparation is key to protecting your home. Wetting down your roof decreases the likelihood that firebrands – burning materials that detach from a fire in a strong draft – will land in nooks and crannies and ignite the surface. Turning on a light in each room will increase the visibility of your home in heavy smoke. Hosing down shrubs near your home and moving flammable furniture, including what's on your patio, to the center of the house (if you have time) gives the fire less fuel to burn.

10. During an earthquake, you should try to get outdoors.
A. True
B. False
Correct = B false
According to FEMA, a large number of injuries occur when people try to move within buildings or get outside, so stay where you are. Get under a table or crouch in an inside corner of the building, covering your face and head with your hands. Only seek shelter in a doorway if you know it's strongly supported. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it's safe to go outside. If you're outdoors, move away from buildings, streetlights and utility wires; proceed cautiously when the earthquake is over. Expect aftershocks.

11. You're snowed in and are beginning to feel ill. Your symptoms are uncontrollable shivering, memory loss, disorientation and incoherence, slurred speech, drowsiness and apparent exhaustion. What do you have?
A. Frostbite
B. Hypothermia
C. The flu

Correct = B
You have hypothermia. Your temperature may be 95 degrees or lower. Get to a warm location, put on dry clothing and wrap yourself in a blanket. Warm the center of the body first. Drink warm beverages – not caffeinated or alcoholic ones – and get medical attention as soon as possible.

12. Which foods can last up to one year?
A. Powdered milk and dried fruit
B. Crackers and potatoes
C. Peanut butter and jelly
D. All of the above

Correct = C.
Peanut butter and jelly can last for up to one year, as can canned meats, vegetable soup, fruit, fruit juice and vegetables, uncooked instant and dry cereals, hard candy and vitamins. Powdered milk, dried fruit, crackers and potatoes last up to six months.

13. How many gallons of water per day does each person in your family need to survive?
A. 1
B. 2
C. 3

You are correct! A
Each person needs at least a half a gallon or more of water per day just to drink. When determining how much you should store, take into account the age, physical condition, diet and activity of your family members – infants, the elderly and injured people may need more water. In addition, be mindful of the climate: Very hot temperatures can double the amount of water needed per person.

[multipage=COrrect 1]


[multipage=Wrong 1]

Sorry, the correct answer is C.
As of May 2007, 47 of 73 tornado deaths this year were mobile home fatalities. FEMA recommends that mobile home residents evacuate immediately and seek the lowest floor of a nearby building or shelter. If no buildings are available, lie flat in a ditch, covering your head with your hands. Do not seek shelter under a bridge or overpass or in a car, and watch for flying debris.

[multipage=Correct 2]

You Are Correct!
If you see water recess from the shoreline, get to higher ground as quickly as possible- a tsunami is coming.

[multipage=Wrong 2]

Sorry, the correct answer is C.
If you see water recess from the shoreline, get to higher ground as quickly as possible – a tsunami is coming.

[multipage=Wrong 3]

Sorry, the correct answer is B.
The greatest potential for loss of life in relation to a hurricane, according to the National Hurricane Center, is the storm surge – particularly in the United States' densely populated, low lying coastal areas. Check your state's website for evacuation zones and routes, then pick the minimum distance you must travel to reach a safe location. Don't leave your home without a destination and a way to get there.

[multipage=More questions]

14. You are outside during a storm and your hair stands on end. What does that indicate?
A. A tornado is coming
B. Lightning is about to strike
C. It's about to rain more heavily

You are correct! B
Lightning is about to strike. Don't lie flat on the ground; instead, squat low on the balls of your feet, placing your hands over your ears and your head between your knees. Make yourself as small a target as possible; make sure to minimize your contact with the ground.

15. What kills more people on average than all other natural disasters combined?
A. Excessive heat
B. Tornadoes
C. Excessive cold
D. Hurricanes

You are correct! A
There were more heat-related fatalities between 1979 and 2003 than deaths by hurricanes, lightning, tornados, floods and earthquakes combined. To stay safe in the heat, limit exposure to the sun by staying indoors as much as possible, setting up camp in the lowest floor out of the sunshine if you don't have air conditioning. Wear loose-fitting clothes and drink plenty of water.

16. After a volcano near your town erupts, you return home to find that ash has accumulated on every surface of your town. It takes weeks to haul it all away. What is the baseline you need to protect yourself during this time?
A. Nothing
B. An umbrella and sturdy work boots
C. A pair of goggles and a disposable N95 breathing mask

correct = C.
Ash from volcanic eruptions can cause respiratory problems, so if you live near a volcano, make sure your emergency kit includes a pair of goggles and a N95 disposable breathing mask for every person in your family.

17. You are in the direct path of a landslide or debris flow, and escape doesn't seem likely. What should you do?
A. Brace yourself behind a building
B. Get in your car
C. Curl up into a tight ball and protect your head

You are correct! C
Landslides can occur in all 50 states, but they often move too quickly to allow escape. FEMA recommends curling up into a tight ball and protecting your head – but the best course of action is to recognize the signs of a landslide and evacuate beforehand. Be on the lookout for progressively leaning trees, smaller landslides, new cracks in your foundation, walls or outside stairs pulling away from buildings and a sudden decrease in the water flow of nearby streams.

18. You are evacuating from a flood when water begins to rise around your car. What to do?
A. Abandon your car and move to higher ground
B. Keep driving to higher ground
C. Stay put and wait for rescue

You are correct! A
Although walking in moving water is dangerous – 6 in. can sweep you off your feet – when water begins to rise around your car, you should abandon it immediately and move to higher ground. One foot of water can float most cars, and 2 ft. will sweep away even SUVs.

19. How much gas should you have in your car in case of an emergency?
A. At least 1/4 tank
B. At least 1/2 tank
C. A full tank

Correct = B.
Always keep at least half a tank of gas in your car in case you need to evacuate on short notice. However, if evacuation seems likely, you should fill up your tank before you get the order to leave to allow you to avoid closed or crowded gas stations.

20. You should stock enough food and water in your emergency supply to last how long?
A. Three days
B. Five days
C. One week

You are correct! C
FEMA recommends storing three days' worth of food and water for each person in your family – but it never hurts to have more.

SO that's it

Are you ready for disaster?

(Im not)
