Emergency preparedness begins with you! Meet with your family and those you live with to create a family emergency plan. Some considerations include:
- Emergency contacts – Choose an out-of-area contact to check in with.
- Evacuation – Decide where you would stay temporarily.
- Pets – Arrange care, as some shelters/hotels do not allow animals.
- Communication – Plan how to stay in touch with family members.
- Health records – Keep copies of prescriptions and medical information.
- Inform others – Share your plan with extended family or caregivers.
