Preparedness Tips To Help You and Your Family Be Prepared for Anything



Planning ahead can make all the difference when a real

emergency strikes. Imagine what you would do if you had

only five or ten minutes to leave your home. What would you

grab? Pets? Photos? Family heirlooms? Cash? Computer?

Write down your list.


Next – what if you had no warning at all? What would you grab

on the way out?


What if you had time to plan? Planning will save your life.


  1. Talk about it with your family. Talk about the possible

    disasters and possible solutions to these.

  2. Create a basic Family Plan – communication plan, a

    meeting place away from home, an out of area

    contact, a list of important numbers

  3. Prepare your emergency kits – make them easily

    accessible

  4. Take Courses – study and learn – first aid, enrichment

    classes offered – any community courses

  5. Memorize emergency exits – practice and learn – mental

    practice – when in unfamiliar places run a mental

    practice in your mind of where the exits are – plan in advance

  6. Be aware of your surroundings – pay attention and think about shelter or protection if needed

  7. Fire extinguishers – become familiar with them and how they work – practice without pulling the pins
