A Personal Emergency Plan
There are 3 basic steps in preparing a personal emergency plan:
- Know the risks. Know the region.
Although the consequences of disasters can be similar,
knowing the risks specific to your region can help you
prepare yourself better.
- Make a plan.
Every household needs an emergency plan. It will help
you and your family know what to do in case of an
emergency.
- Prepare a kit.
In an emergency you will need some basic supplies.
Be prepared to be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours.
Is
your family prepared?
