Plan
Plan where to
meet after a disaster. Choose
two places:
-
Right outside your home,
in case of a sudden emergency such as a fire.
-
Outside your neighborhood,
in case you cannot return home or are asked to evacuate
your neighborhood.
After determining your meeting
places, you should also:
-
Determine the best escape routes
from your home. Find two
ways out of each room. Also, determine the best two escape
routes out of your neighborhood/community.
-
Ask an out-of-town friend to be
your "family contact".
After a disaster, it's often easier to call long distance.
Other family members should call this person and tell them
where they are. Everyone must know your contact's phone
number.
-
Find out how to care for your
pets. Many shelters do
not allow them because of health regulations. For more
information on how to care for your pets, visit our
Animal Safety section.
