EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS CHECKLIST
If a disaster strikes,
you may not have much
time to act. Learn how to protect yourself and cope with the disaster by
planning ahead.
The following is a list prepared by F.E.M.A. (Federal
Emergency Management Agency)
For
additional information about how to prepare for hazards in your community,
contact the local D.E. S. Officer.
o Find out which disasters could
occur in your area.
o Ask how to prepare for each disaster.
o Ask how you would be warned of an emergency.
o Learn your community’s evacuation routes.
o Ask about special assistance for elderly or disabled
persons.
Also...
o Ask your workplace about emergency plans.
o Learn about emergency plans for your children’s school
or day care center.
Create
an Emergency Plan
o Meet with household members to
discuss the dangers of fire, severe weather, earthquakes and other
emergencies. Explain how to respond to each.
o Find the safe spots in your home for each type of
disaster.
o Discuss what to do about power outages and personal
injuries.
o Draw a floor plan of your home. Mark two escape routes
from each room.
o Show family members how to turn off the water, gas and
electricity at main switches when necessary.
o Post emergency telephone numbers near telephones.
o Teach children how and when to call 911, police and
fire.
o Instruct household members to turn on the radio for
emergency information.
o Pick one out-of-state and one local friend or relative
for family members to call if separated during a disaster (it is often
easier to call out-of-state than within the affected area).
o Teach children your out-of-state contact’s phone
numbers.
o Pick two emergency meeting places. 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.
