WHAT IS PREPAREDNESS PLAN?

A disaster or emergency plan for your family or coworkers can be the difference between you meeting up in a secure location or being lost. You should be familiar with it before the disaster, and ready to act on it in case the unthinkable happens.

• Keep your family's most important documents, like birth certificates, passports, and social security cards in a safe place in case you need to grab them and leave the house.

• Make sure you have a well-stocked go-bag that will keep you safe, warm, fed, and any medical needs you have taken care of for at least a few days.

• Make sure you and your family have a planned and practiced escape route from your home, and a place you all agree to meet up if something terrible happens.

• Make sure you're familiar with the emergency or disaster plan at your office.

​

Plan accordingly.
