What To Have In Place For Emergencies

Submit Your WisdomCreate Family Plan
Help keep your family safe by developing a family emergency plan. It’s important to be prepared for whatever comes your way.
Phone Numbers
Post emergency numbers in a central place where they won’t be missed. Include the numbers for police, fire, poison control, school, work, child care and important relatives. Include your home address for quick reference since emergency respondents will need to know where to find you.
Escape Routs
Go through each room of your home and plan the quickest and safest escape route. Make sure each member of your family knows the plan for each room. Practice the plan, so they know how to act should they need to make a quick escape.
Emergency Meeting Spots
Choose three spots, just to be on the safe side. In case of fire, elect one place near your home. Select another spot outside your neighborhood (such as the fire station or a relative’s home). Pick one out-of-town location in case you need to evacuate.
Pet Plan
If your family has pets, include your four-legged family members in your emergency plan. Make sure you have any necessary pet carriers and plenty of food and water on hand to take with you.
Important Documents
Put your important documents in a plastic bag. Keep the bag in a fireproof and waterproof box for easy grabbing if you have to evacuate.
