Make a Plan

Learn the types of disasters most likely to occur in your community. Consider purchasing a weather radio to alert you of severe weather conditions.

Have enough supplies for a minimum of three days (preferably one week).

Know how, when and where to shut off water, gas and electric at the main sources to your home. Post emergency and utility provider numbers by the phone.

Check your insurance coverage. Flood damage, for example, is not covered by homeowner's insurance.

Contact your child's school or daycare to determine the facility's emergency notification and evacuation plans.

Plan your evacuation route.

Make arrangements for pets or livestock in advance. Make sure your pet has a license tag and a collar, and use a break away collar for cats.

Identify the safest area to take shelter during a disaster event. The safest area may not be your home, but elsewhere in the county or state.

Plan how your family will stay in touch if you become separated. Select an out-of-state contact for your family.

Include your children in the planning process and discuss any fears they may have.

Share Information with your family. Practice your plan of evacuation route.
