Have A Plan
Your family may not be together when a disaster strikes so it is important to plan in advance:
- How you will get to a safe place?
- How you will contact one another?
- How you will get back together?
- What you will do in different situations?
Emergency Plans
Step 1: Put a plan together by discussing the questions below with your family, friends or household to start your emergency plan.
- How will I receive emergency alerts and warnings?
- What is my shelter plan?
- What is my evacuation route?
- What is my family/household communication plan?
- Do I need to update my emergency preparedness kit?
- Where is our coordinated meeting place?
Step 2: Consider special needs in your household.
As you prepare your plan tailor your plans and supplies to your specific daily living needs and responsibilities. Discuss your needs and responsibilities and how people in the network can assist each other with communication, care of children, business, pets or specific needs like operating medical equipment. Create your own personal network for specific areas where you need assistance.
