The next time disaster strikes, you may not have much time to act. Prepare now
for a sudden
emergency.
Learn how to protect yourself and cope with disaster by planning ahead. This
checklist will help you
get started. Discuss these ideas with your family, then prepare an emergency
plan. Post the plan
where everyone will see it - on the refrigerator or bulletin board.
For additional information about how to prepare for hazards in your community,
contact your local
emergency management or civil defense office and American Red Cross chapter.
Emergency checklist:
Call Your Emergency Management Office or American Red Cross Chapter:
Find out which disasters could occur in your area.
Ask how to prepare for each disaster.
Ask how you would be warned of an emergency.
Learn your community's evacuation routes.
Ask about special assistance for elderly or disabled persons.
Also...
Ask your workplace about emergency plans.
Learn about emergency plans for your children's school or day care
center.
Create an emergency plan:
Meet with household members. Discuss with children the dangers of
fire, severe weather,
earthquakes and other emergencies.
Discuss how to respond to each disaster that could occur.
Discuss what to do about power outages and personal injuries.
Draw a floor plan of your home. Mark two escape routes from each
room.
Learn how to turn off the water, gas and electricity at main
switches.
Post emergency telephone numbers near telephones.
Teach children how and when to call 911, police and fire.
Instruct household members to turn on the radio for emergency
information.
Pick one out-of-state and one local friend or relative for family
members to call if

1) A place near your home in case of a fire.
2) A place outside your neighborhood in case you cannot return
home after a
disaster.

sealed, unbreakable
containers. Identify the storage date and replace every six months.

A first aid kit and prescription medications.
An extra pair of glasses.
A battery-powered radio, flashlight and plenty of extra batteries.

Escape plan:
In a fire or other emergency, you may need to evacuate your house, apartment
or mobile home on a
moment's notice. You should be ready to get out fast.
Develop an escape plan by drawing a floor plan of your residence.
Using a black or blue pen, show the location of doors, windows, stairways, and
large furniture.
Indicate the location of emergency supplies (Disaster Supplies Kit), fire
extinguishers, smoke
detectors, collapsible ladders, first aid kits and utility shut off points.
Next, use a colored pen to draw a broken line charting at least two escape
routes from each room.
Finally, mark a place outside of the home where household members should meet
in case of fire.
Be sure to include important points outside such as garages, patios,
stairways, elevators, driveways
and porches. If your home has more than two floors, use an additional sheet of
paper. Practice
emergency evacuation drills with all household members at least two times each
year.
Home hazard hunt:
In a disaster, ordinary items in the home can cause injury and damage.
Anything that can move, fall,
break or cause a fire is a potential hazard.
Repair defective electrical wiring and leaky gas connections.
Fasten shelves securely.
Place large, heavy objects on lower shelves.
Hang pictures and mirrors away from beds.
Brace overhead light fixtures.
Secure water heater. Strap to wall studs.
Repair cracks in ceilings or foundations.
Store weed killers, pesticides and flammable products away from heat
sources.
Place oily polishing rags or waste in covered metal cans.
Clean and repair chimneys, flue pipes, vent connectors and gas
vents.
If you need to evacuate:
Listen to a battery powered radio for the location of emergency
shelters. Follow
instructions of local officials.
Wear protective clothing and sturdy shoes.
Take your Disaster Supplies Kit.
Lock your house.
Use travel routes specified by local officials.
If you are sure you have time:
Shut off water, gas and electricity, if instructed to do so.
Let others know when you left and where you are going.
Make arrangements for pets. Animals may not be allowed in public
shelters.
Prepare an emergency car kit:
Include:
Battery powered radio and extra batteries
Flashlight and extra batteries
Blanket
Booster cables
Fire extinguisher (5 lb., A-B-C type)
First aid kit and manual
Bottled water and non-perishable high energy foods such as granola
bars, raisins and
peanut butter
Maps
Shovel
Tire repair kit and pump
Flares
Fire safety:
Plan two escape routes out of each room.
Teach family members to stay low to the ground when escaping from a
fire. Check
electrical outlets. Do not overload outlets.
Teach family members never to open doors that are hot. In a fire,
feel the bottom of the
door with the palm of your hand. If it is hot, do not open the door. Find
another way out.
Install smoke detectors. Clean and test smoke detectors once a month.
Change batteries
at least once a year.
Keep a whistle in each bedroom to awaken household members in case of
a fire.
Purchase a fire extinguisher (5 lb., A-B-C type).
Have a collapsible ladder on each upper floor of your house.
Consider installing home sprinklers.
