Personal and Family Preparedness Resources

Create an Emergency Preparedness Checklist for your family, including pets, then prepare your emergency plan, posting it where everyone will see it – on the refrigerator or bulletin board.

Keep an Emergency Contacts list near the phone and make certain that everyone knows how to get in touch, possibly by calling an out-of-state friend or relative.

Learn the basics of Emergency CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) in the event that a life-threatening event occurs to someone close to you.

Gather supplies for a functional First Aid Kit, familiarize yourself with basic first aid skills.

If you are, or know of a person with special needs, the American Red Cross publishes brochures, “Disaster Preparedness for People with Disabilities,” and “Disaster Preparedness for Seniors by Seniors.”
