Gilbreath Communications, Inc. recently completed a disaster preparedness video for the City of Houston Department of Public Safety and Homeland Security. The 15-minute video informs Houston-area residents how to prepare for potential disasters ranging from hurricanes to terrorist attacks. The video, called "Are You Ready?", emphasizes three key points: Make a Plan, Build a Kit and Stay Informed.

"Are You Ready?" is free to residents in the Houston region and is available in English, Spanish, Vietnamese and Chinese, each with subtitles for the hearing impaired. Gilbreath also created the logo, Web site, and a series of PSAs to round out the campaign. The video was launched at a press conference on June 6, 2008 by U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and other local officials.The City of Houston has reported more than 15,000 copies of the video distributed within the first few months of its release.
