Emergency Preparedness in 1…2…3

Preparing for an emergency doesn’t have to be complicated. Follow these simple steps to get started:

  1. Build a Kit

A well-stocked emergency kit can make all the difference during the first couple days of an emergency. Include:

  • Water (one gallon per person per day for at least three days)
  • Non-perishable food and a manual can opener
  • Flashlight with extra batteries
  • Battery-powered or hand crank radio
  • First aid kit
  • Prescription medication, if applicable
  • Important documents
  • Extra clothing

Store your kit in an easy-to-reach location. Additional resources:

 

  1. Make a Plan

One of the most important steps you can take in preparing for emergencies is to develop a Family Emergency Plan. Your family may not be together when disaster strikes, so it is important to sit down together now and discuss what you will do in an emergency. Your plan, at a minimum, should contain the following information:

  • A safe meeting place near your home and one outside of your neighborhood
  • An emergency contact outside the area that everyone can call or text
  • The unique needs of pets, young children, older adults and anyone in your household with medical needs

Templates of Family Emergency Plans can be found at Ready.gov/plan and https://www.earthquakecountry.org/step2/.
