A gas line ruptures in a neighborhood. A tanker truck loaded with hazardous materials veers out of control on your local highway. A clear sky yields to furious winds with little notice. They are threats seen and unseen, but all are scenarios the people of North Central Texas can easily prepare for.
The KnoWhat2Do program encourages all North Central Texas citizens to “Know Your Hazards.” From radiological waste to biohazards, there are several local potential sources of exposure. While there are constant efforts underway to prevent accidents and exposures, the possibilities are real and can occur close to home.
Like hazardous accidents, the wild weather known to torment North Central Texas doesn’t distinguish between rural areas and heavily populated city blocks.

They can and should learn about the very real threats that exist right here, whether that threat is hidden in a 12-ounce bottle of cleaner under a kitchen sink, or delivered by the hands of nature. This information is clearly outlined on the Web site, www.KnoWhat2Do.com.
