National Preparedness Month

September is National Preparedness Month. Now is the time to make a plan! This month, we will be sharing information from www.ready.gov on ways to get prepared for an emergency. 

Make A Plan 

Make a plan today. Your family may not be together if a disaster strikes, so it is important to know which types of disasters could affect your area. Know how you’ll contact one another and reconnect if separated. Establish a family meeting place that’s familiar and easy to find. 

Step 1: Put together a plan by discussing these 4 questions with your family, friends, or household to start your emergency plan. 
How will I receive emergency alerts and warnings? 
What is my shelter plan? 
What is my evacuation route? 
What is my family/household communication plan? 

Step 2: Consider specific needs in your household. 
As you prepare your plan tailor your plans and supplies to your specific daily living needs and responsibilities. Discuss your needs and responsibilities and how people in the network can assist each other with communication, care of children, business, pets, or specific needs like the operation of durable medical equipment. Create your own personal network for specific areas where you need assistance. Keep in mind some these factors when developing your plan: 

Different ages of members within your household 
Responsibilities for assisting others 
Locations frequented 
Dietary needs 
Medical needs including prescriptions and equipment 
Disabilities or access and functional needs including devices and equipment 
Languages spoken 
Cultural and religious considerations 
Pets or service animals 
Households with school-aged children 

Step 3: Fill out a Family Emergency Plan 
Download and fill out a family emergency plan or use them as a guide to create your own.
