Plan to Protect Yourself & Your Family

Prepare yourself and your family for a disaster by making an emergency plan.

Your emergency planning should also address the Care for Pets; Ailing family members with access and functional needs; and Safety in Shutting off Utilities.

You may also want to inquire about emergency plans at work, daycare and school. If no plans exist, consider volunteering to help create one.

Once you’ve collected this important information, gather your family members and discuss the information to put in the plan. Practice your plan at least twice a year and update it according to any issues that arise.
