Include Common Emergency Scenarios When You Plan

Plan for the emergencies that are most likely to happen where you live

Be familiar with natural disaster risks in our community. Consider how you will respond to emergencies that can happen anywhere, such as home fires and floods. Consider how you will respond to risks that are unique to our region, such as tsunamis and earthquakes. Think about emergencies that may require you to shelter in place (such as a winter storm) or emergencies that may require evacuation (such as a tsunami). Consult with emergency resource libraries (liek this one from the American Red Cross, for tips on preparing for, responding to, and recovering from specific disasters.

 

Plan what to do in case you are separated during an emergency

1. Choose two places to meet up. (Right outside your home for sudden emergencies, such as a fire and outside your neighborhood for emergencies where you need to evacuate). 2. Choose and out-of-area contact person. It may be easier to text or call long distance if local phone lines are overloaded or out of service. Everyone should carry emergency contact information in writing and saved on their cell phones. Make sure places where your children spend time also have these contact numbers, like at school or daycare. 3. Your plan should account for family members who may live elsewhere during the year, such as members of the military on deployment or students away at college, or those who travel frequently.
