1. Make a plan


What will you do in an emergency?
  • Plan in advance
  • Be prepared to assess the situation
  • Use common sense and what you have on hand to take care of your family and yourself

Develop a Family Emergency Plan
  • Plan to have each family member call, text or email, the same relative or friend in the event of an emergency
  • Consider an out-of-town or out-of-state contact
    •  In an emergency it may be easier to place an out-of-area call
  • Be sure each family member knows the phone number and has coins or prepaid phone card to call the emergency contact
  • Watch television or listen to the radio for official instructions
    • Stay or evacuate

Be Prepared for what might happen
  • Stay informed about what types of emergencies might affect our region
  • Create a Plan to Shelter-in-Place
  • Create a Plan to Get Away
