TextNational Preparedness Month: Family Emergency Plan
When making a Family Emergency Plan, include a contact outside
your area.
It may be easier to call long distance after a local emergency.
Here’s your daily tip for National Preparedness Month:
Your family may not be together when a disaster strikes, so it is important to plan in advance to address how you will contact one another, how you will get back together, and what you will do in different situations.
The ReadyNOVA.org website provides a template that makes it easy for anyone to develop a plan. Once finished, it is easily saved as a PDF and printed in order to be shared with trusted family and friends.
