Plan Ahead
Make an emergency plan today. Your family may not be together if a disaster strikes, so it is important to know what you will do to protect yourselves and how you'll contact one another and reconnect if separated.
Consider the following questions as you make your plan for yourself and/or your family.
- How will I receive emergency alerts and warnings?
- What is my shelter plan?
- What is my evacuation route?
- What is my family/household communication plan?
- Do I need to update my emergency preparedness kit?
