Making a Family Emergency Plan

Your family may not be together when disaster strikes, so it is important to plan in advance: how you will contact one another, how you will get back together, and what you will do in different situations?

You will be better prepared to safely reunite your family and loved ones during an emergency if you think ahead and communicate with others in advance.

Creating a Family Communication Plan

It may be easier to make a long-distance phone call than to call across town, so an out-of-town contact may be in a better position to communicate among separated family members.
Be sure every member of your family knows the phone number and has coins or a prepaid phone card to call the emergency contact.
You may have trouble getting through, or the telephone system may be down altogether, but be patient.

Make Sure Your Plan Goes Beyond Your Home:

Like individuals and families, schools, daycare providers, workplaces, neighborhoods and apartment buildings should all have site-specific emergency plans.

Ask about plans at the places where your family spends the most time: work, school and other places you frequent. If none exist, consider volunteering to help develop one. You will be better prepared to safely reunite your family and loved ones during an emergency if you think ahead, and communicate with others in advance.
