|
Meet with your family and discuss why you need to prepare for disaster. Plan to share responsibilities and work together as a team.
- Discuss the types of disasters that are most likely to happen. Explain what to do in each case.
- Make a shelter kit in case you have to shelter in place.
- Make a get-away kit in case you have to evacuate.
- Pick two places to meet:
- Right outside your home in case of a sudden emergency, like a fire.
- Outside your neighborhood in case you can't return home. Everyone must know the address and phone number
- Ask an out-of-state friend to be your "family contact." After a disaster, it's often easier to call long distance. Other family members should call this person and tell them where they are. Everyone must know your contact's phone number. Discuss if you have to shelter in place, or Plan to evacuate. Know how to take care of your pets.
