Be Prepared

Stanford Hospital and Clinics and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital's work hard to prepare for emergencies. A number of sectors in our communities are preparing as well, including but not limited to, schools, community organizations, and other businesses. Although Stanford University Medical Center can respond to disasters, only you can prepare yourself and your household for emergencies.
