Contact your local emergency
management office or local American Red Cross Chapter to gather the
information you will need to create a plan.
Community Hazards
Ask
about the specific hazards that threaten your community (e.g.
hurricanes, tornados, and earthquakes) and about your risk from those
hazards.
Community Disaster Plans
Learn
about community response plans, evacuation plans, and designated
emergency shelters. Ask about the emergency plans and procedures that
exist in places you and your family spend time such as places of
employment, schools, and child care centers. If you do not own a
vehicle or drive, find out in advance what your community’s plans fare
for evacuating those without private transportation.
Community Warning Systems
Find
out how local authorities will warn you of a pending disaster and how
they will provide information to you during and after a disaster. Learn
about NOAA Weather Radio and its alerting capabilities (www.noaa.gov).
