There\’s an emergency! What do you do?
In honor of National Preparedness Month, I thought it would be great to remind you to check (or start!) your disaster kits, and to have a refresher (or first!) conversation with your families about what to do in natural disaster or emergency. I know it’s kind of scary to think about, but the more you talk about it, and the more prepared you are, the less scary it will be. This first article has a lot of information for you, so just click on what is most important to you. 🙂 Be safe!

Make A Plan
Make a plan today. Your family may not be together if a disaster strikes, so it is important to know which types of disasters could affect your area. Know how you’ll contact one another and reconnect if separated. Establish a family meeting place that’s familiar and easy to find.
Emergency Supplies for Earthquake Preparedness
Stock up now on emergency supplies that can be used after an earthquake. These supplies should include a first aid kit, survival kits for the home, automobile, and workplace, and emergency water and food. Store enough supplies to last at least 3 days.
Learn CPR and First Aid
If disaster strikes and someone gets injured, would you know what to do? Getting certified in first aid and CPR could mean the difference between life or death in an emergency situation.
