Prepare
Emergency planning
A plan decides who does what, where you go, and how you reconnect, before stress makes it harder.
What your plan should cover
- Two meeting places: near home and outside your neighborhood.
- An out-of-area contact everyone can call or text.
- Evacuation routes and where you will stay.
- Plans for children, older adults, pets, and anyone with medical needs.
- Where important documents and medications are kept.
Review it
Walk through the plan with everyone in your household and update it when anything changes.
