Family Disaster Plan


Practice Your Plan

  • Discuss the types of disasters that are most likely to happen in your area. Explain what to do in each case.
  • Pick two places to meet if your family is separated:
  • Outside your house in case of a home emergency (fire).
  • Outside your neighborhood in case you can't return home.
  • Everyone must know the address and phone number.
  • Ask an out-of-state friend or relative to be your family contact. (After a disaster, it's often easier to call long distance).
  • Other family members should call this person and tell them where they are. Everyone must know the contact
  • and their phone number.
  • Discuss what to do in an evacuation. Plan how to take care of your pets.
  • Meet with your neighbors. Neighborhoods should plan to work together during and after a disaster until help arrives.
