Make
a Plan: A
plan should have three important things -
a meeting
place,
an out-of-area
contact,
and an emergency
supply kit.
Build
a Disaster Kit:
How comfortable do YOU want yourself and your family to be if First
Responders can't get to you in an emergency? A three-day Emergency
Supply Kit is a basic tool for providing peace of mind, comfort,
and
survival needs in the face of disaster. Shelter-in-Place:
It is important to listen to Emergency
Officials during a disaster because directions they give will likely save
your life. One direction Emergency Officials may give is to
"shelter-in-place." You may need to shelter-in-place at home, at
work, at school, or even if you're outside.
