Create Your Family Emergency Plan
A well-prepared family knows what to do and where to go during an emergency. Follow these steps to create your plan today.
Identify Meeting Places
Choose two meeting locations: one near your home for sudden emergencies, and one outside your neighborhood in case you can't return home.
Establish Communication Plan
Designate an out-of-state contact person. Local phone lines may be jammed, but long-distance calls may go through.
Plan Evacuation Routes
Know multiple ways to exit your home and neighborhood. Practice your evacuation plan with all family members.
Document Special Needs
Make a list of any special needs for family members, including medications, medical equipment, or dietary requirements.
