Disaster can strike quickly and without warning - be prepared and create an emergency plan for yourself, your family, and your business.
- Meet with your family, discuss potential disasters, and plan to share responsibilities and work together as a team.
- Plan escape routes from your home and places to meet, both near your home and outside of your neighborhood in case of evacuation. Make sure your family knows how to stay in contact if you are separated during an emergency.
- Learn how and when to turn off utilities such as electricity, water and gas.
- Consider the special needs of children, seniors and disabled persons, and pets in your planning.
- Prepare and protect your business.
- Keep your 72 hour emergency kit stocked and ready to go.
