While emergency preparedness begins with individuals, many people must too consider the welfare of immediate and sometimes extended family members (i.e., children, the elderly and pets).
Even so, preparedness planning starts with the basics of prepare a plan, make a kit and be informed. Family plans should also name an “out-of-town” contact, list local emergency numbers and pinpoint a family meeting place.
It’s important that a family plan also account for the special needs of everyone in your care. These may include prescriptions, dietetic foods, formula, eyeglasses, vaccination records, a wheelchair or extra hearing aid batteries.
