How to make a disaster plan
Here are simple tips to make sure you can get back quickly to living normally after a disaster strikes.
-
-
Protect Your Home and Property
Strengthen and secure windows, doors and any weak points in your home’s construction.
Store any free-standing items (like cabinets) indoors. This will prevent damage and helps keep these objects from becoming dangerous themselves.
-
Prepare Your Vehicle
Keep vehicles fueled and in good repair.
Keep an emergency kit inside each vehicle. Your kit should include food, water, blankets, flares.
Secure your vehicle in a covered area or garage. Close the windows and doors.
-
Keep a List of Contact Phone Numbers Handy
Include all emergency numbers, such as police, fire department, ambulance and poison control.
Include numbers of family and friends you may need help from or may need to be informed about an emergency.
Pre-program your emergency contact list into your mobile phone.
-
Have a Plan for Your Pets
If at all possible, don’t leave your pets behind.
Most human disaster shelters do not accept pets, other than service dogs, so be sure to plan ahead.
Make sure your pet has proper identification, in case it’s separated from you during the disaster.
Find a comfortable carrier for your pet, so you can easily transport them in an emergency.
-
Develop a Communication Plan
Include a plan for reuniting.
It’s also a good idea to ask an out-of-state relative or friend to serve as the “family contact” in case of a disaster, as it’s often easier to call long distance.
Review the plan with all members of the family. And take it for a test run with the members of your household.
-
Develop a Communication Plan
Review your plan at least once a year.
