Suggestions and Reminders
|
|
|
|
Store your kit in a convenient place known to all family members. Keep a smaller version of the Disaster Supplies Kit in the trunk of your car.
|
|
|
Keep items in air-tight plastic bags.
|
|
|
Change your stored water supply every six months so it stays fresh.
|
|
|
Rotate your stored food every six months.
|
|
|
Re-think your kit and family needs at least once a year. Replace batteries, update clothes, etc.
|
|
|
Ask your physician or pharmacist about storing prescriiption medications.
|
|
Disaster Plan
|
|
|
|
Meet with your family.
|
|
|
Discuss the types of disasters that could occur.
|
|
|
Explain how to prepare and respond.
|
|
|
Discuss what to do if advised to evacuate.
|
|
|
Practice what you have discussed.
|
|
|
Plan how your family will stay in contact if separated by disaster. Pick two meeting places: 1) a location a safe distance from your home in case of fire. 2) a place outside your neighborhood in case you can't return home. Choose an out-of-state friend as a "check-in contact" for everyone to call.
|
|
Complete These Steps.
|
|
|
|
Post emergency telephone numbers by every phone.
|
|
|
Show responsible family members how and when to shut off water, gas and electricity at main switches.
|
|
|
Install a smoke detector on each level of your home, especially near bedrooms; test monthly and change the batteries two times each year.
|
|
|
Contact your local fire department to learn about home fire hazards.
|
|
|
Learn first aid and CPR. Contact your local American Red Cross chapter for information and training.
|
|
|
Meet with your neighbors. Plan how the neighborhood could work together after a disaster. Know your neighbors' skills (medical, technical). Consider how you could help neighbors who have special needs, such as elderly or disabled persons. Make plans for child care in case parents can't get home. Remember to practice and maintain your plan.
