We believe Federal Signal's 2012 Public Safety Survey is the most comprehensive national survey gauging the public's emotional reactions to emergency and disaster situations - from their response to notification alerts and sirens to their trust in their community's emergency preparedness. It takes more than community officials to ensure that the public is prepared for a disaster. Whether warnings emanate from a siren or from a neighbor, effective response to an emergency alert or notification demands the engagement of each and every citizen. This survey brings to light just how critical it is for members of the general public to be actively engaged during an emergency crisis. More importantly, the survey stresses how important it is for Americans to have an emergency plan in place that enables them to act quickly when their safety is threatened.
