Plan Checklist
-
Discuss the types of hazards that could affect your home and family.
-
Locate a safe room within your home. This should be on the lowest level a basement is best. Put as many walls between you and the outside as possible.
-
Determine RALLY POINTS.
-
Have an out-of-state friend as a family contact, so all your family members have a single point of contact.
-
Make a plan for your pets NOW!
-
Post emergency phone numbers and make sure you children know when to call 911.
-
Check insurance coverage. Flood damage is not usually covered by homeowners insurance.
-
Have a disaster supply kit.
-
Use a NOAA Weather Radio and remember to replace its batteries.
