Be Prepared!
BE READY FOR ANY DISASTER BEFORE AND AFTER
|
We now know more definitively that it only takes O-N-E to spell D-I-S-A-S-T-E-R!! The need for preparation is always imminent as is the need to be prepared for after a disaster.
YOUR EVACUATION PLAN should be at the ready with preparations including a “Grab and Go” scenario in place.
1. Medical supplies: prescription medications and dentures
2. Disaster supplies: flashlight, batteries, radio, first aid kit, bottled water.
3. Clothing and bedding: a change of clothes and a sleeping bag or bedroll and pillow for each household member
4. Car keys and keys to the place you may be going( friend’s or relative’s home)
