Peace of mind during an emergency is a few simple steps away.

Everyone has special needs to consider during an emergency and there are a few planning activities that can help everyone to be more prepared for the unexpected.

Start with the basics:

• Make a family emergency plan. Include two evacuation routes and emergency contact information. Review your plan with family members often. Visit the Family Disaster Plan webpage for information on creating a plan.
  
  
• Make a kit with at least 3-5 days worth of first aid supplies, food and water. Visit the Your Family Disaster Supply Kit webpage for information on what to put in your kit.
  
  
• Start saving money to help pay for unexpected expenses.
