MAKE A PLAN |
What exactly is a disaster preparedness plan? How can a plan help us during a disaster? A plan is a pre-determined set of action steps that you will take during a disastrous event. As we never know, if or when a disaster will strike, identifying our actions beforehand increases our safety, lessens our anxieties during an event, and alleviates some of our fears towards disasters.
1. Learn what hazards can cause disasters where you live. Determine your family’s needs and how you can survive these hazards. Consider the special needs of others, such as the elderly or persons with disabilities, in your planning.

2. Develop and practice a communications plan. Would you know what to do should phone lines shut down? Have an out-of-state contact for family members to call if local lines don’t work.
3. Develop and practice an evacuation plan should you need to leave home. Obey evacuation requests and orders issued by local officials.
