Make sure your family has a Home Evacuation Plan.
Junior Mitigation Wizards, it’s very important for your family to have a home evacuation plan. If a disaster happens near your home, know where you and your family would go, what you would do, and the steps you should take to stay safe
Every family member should know the plan and how to follow it. Also, you should have a contact person outside the area where you live who you can call. Then, that person can let people know that your family is safe and what help is needed.
So you see, being prepared is all in the planning. Download and fill out your own Home Evacuation Plan:
