After an Emergency

When a disaster or emergency is over, you need to review what has occurred. To do this, you should:

• Check on the status of your family’s physical health and the safety of your home.
• If you have property damage, contact your insurance company and your local emergency management or local law enforcement agency to ensure your damage is included in a possible state or federal disaster declaration.
• Take one step at a time and pay attention to the mental health of your family.
• Restock your Disaster Kit and Go Bag.
• Review and update your Family Plan.
• Get trained and volunteer so you can help others in your community.
