SPONSORED CONTENT -- (StatePoint) Natural disasters like hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and wildfires are happening more frequently each year. They’re also becoming more unpredictable, with many disasters taking place outside of the traditional storm season.
Despite the fact that an overwhelming majority of Americans—86%—are concerned that natural disasters will increase in the coming years, many households are not taking steps to prepare. According to a FEMA survey, only 51% of Americans believe they are prepared for a disaster, and only 48% of households report assembling or updating their disaster supplies.
