Disaster Preparation
When emergencies happen, the Red Cross mobilizes to provide shelter, food counseling and other services. Red Cross helps families prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies every day of the year.
How Prepared is Your Family?
- Does your family disaster plan include two meeting places: one outside of your home in case of a fire and one outside of your neighborhood in case you can’t get home as the result of a disaster or other emergency?
- Have you taken first aid or CPR/AED training in the past year?
- Does your disaster supplies kit include at least a three-day supply of water (1 gallon per person per day) and nonperishable food, a battery-powered or crank radio, a first aid kit and sanitary supplies, including disinfecting bleach?
- Does your family have an emergency contact person who lives outside your area?
- Local authorities have just told you to evacuate you home. Have you pre-designated a pet friendly location to take you pet(s) as part of you disaster plan?
