Graphic: Disaster Plan Handouts

Make a Plan: A plan should have three important things - a meeting place, an out-of-area contact, and an emergency supply kit.
Build a Disaster Kit: How comfortable do YOU want yourself and your family to be if First Responders can't get to you in an emergency? A three-day Emergency Supply Kit is a basic tool for providing peace of mind, comfort, and survival needs in the face of disaster.
Shelter-in-Place: It is important to listen to Emergency Officials during a disaster because directions they give will likely save your life. One direction Emergency Officials may give is to "shelter-in-place." You may need to shelter-in-place at home, at work, at school, or even if you're outside.

Learn how to develop a family disaster plan, what to include in your disaster kit, and what is needed to shelter-in-place. Whether it be at home, school, work, or when you're outside, Be Prepared!

Preparedness is a way of life - a habit that should be practiced so often, it becomes second nature. How do you know if you're prepared? What are you preparing for? We can help you find out in just three steps: Basic-Better-Best!
