An Emergency plan will help you find your loved ones when disaster strikes. Have you ever thought about where you would meet up with your family in case of a natural disaster? Think about it, you’re at work and your spouse is at work when an earthquake strikes. The cell phones are down, and the landlines are down. Where do you meet up? Where do you go if you have to evacuate your town? These are the questions that need to be answered.
I went to my local emergency preparedness web site, which helped me put together emergency plan cards that have the critical information needed. The information on these cards includes, neighborhood Emergency Meeting Place, Out of Neighborhood Emergency Meeting Place, and Out of Town Emergency Meeting Place including contact points at these locations, and special instructions.
There is a folding card for each member of the family. Besides the meeting places the cards include identifying characteristics of everyone in the family. Important phone numbers, medical conditions, allergies, special needs, and email addresses.
Here is the link to Ready America which will help you put together a plan. I am challenging everyone to get a plan together now.
