> MAKE A PLAN
Consider the specific needs your family may have including children, elderly family members, and pets. Talk to your friends and family about how you will communicate before, during, and after a disaster. Be sure you know your evacuation routes.
> BUILD AN EMERGENCY KIT
Build an emergency kit that includes non-perishable food and water, flashlights, batteries, a first aid kit and any other essential items. Gather supplies that will last for several days for everyone in your home.
> EDUCATE YOUTH
Talk to your children about how to be ready for a disaster or emergency. Make sure they know where to go, how to stay safe, and what to do in case you are separated.
