Family Emergency Preparedness

Emergency preparedness involves three basic steps:  

1. Knowing the risks
2. Making a plan
3. Getting an emergency kit

Are you ready?  Have you thought about:

• Who is your personal support network and how can they help you during an emergency?
• What do I need for a basic emergency kit
• Is there a service animal involved that also needs an emergency kit
• What do I need to think about considering myself or a family member that has special needs (mobility needs, non –visible disabilities such as autism, ADHD, diabetes or arthritis, hearing loss, vision loss, seniors with a disability/special needs, living with a disability in a high rise)
