help everybody

Disasters often come without warning. Have these supplies and details organized ahead of time, and you’ll weather the “storm” with less stress.




•
Know your area and what disasters are possible. You need to plan accordingly. Check your area.
•
Create a basic emergency supply kit. Be sure that it includes the following: Water (have one gallon per person, per day, for three days—for drinking and sanitation); food (have a three-day supply of nonperishable items); can opener; battery-powered radio; flashlight; extra batteries; local maps;
•
Consider a few extra items, depending on your family’s needs. These might be: medication, and toys for pets; comfortable shoes and a change of clothing for each family member; blankets or sleeping bags
•
Know your evacuation routes. Have more than one option for getting out of town quickly.
•
Designate three family meeting spots. Pick an area near the home to meet in the event of a fire. Choose another that is in the region, in case everyone is scattered and can’t get home. Have a third that is out-of-town, should your family have to evacuate separately.
•
Make a list of phone numbers. Everyone in the family should have a list of important contacts they carry with them. Make sure you include numbers for doctors, and close family members.
•
Write down important personal information. On the same emergency phone list, note any medical conditions you have. For your young children, record date of birth, address, and medical conditions. You can print out a template listing all of this info at ready.gov.
•
Have a family meeting. Make sure everyone knows and understands your emergency plan. Talk about meeting points, discuss fire safety, and have kids get involved in making the emergency supply kit. They may alert you to something you forgot—like the necessity of a spare security blanket
