Plan for Emergencies
You can begin this process by gathering family members and making sure each person is well-informed on potential hazards and community plans (Getting Informed ). Discuss with them what you would do if family members are not home when a warning is issued. Additionally, your family plan should address the following:
- Escape routes
- Evacuation plans
- Family communications
- Utility shut-off and safety
- Insurance and vital records
- Special needs
- Care for pets: Information for pet owners
- Care for livestock: Information for livestock owners
- Safety skills
