Survival Planning - Family Emergency Plan

The first step in surviving any type of natural disaster, emergency situation or crisis is to have a list of emergency contact information. You will need to know where everyone is at and how to get in touch with them as quickly as possible. The less time you spend trying to locate or contact family members; the more time you will have to get out of harm’s way. You don’t need to re-write the phone book but some simple planning is necessary. Having a “hard copy” list of emergency contact information for your family members will put you ahead of the game because you were ready with the necessary information.

Do you work two jobs? Do you have a plan to get home in an emergency depending upon where you are at a particular time of day? Got children in school? Do you know how to contact them quickly in an emergency? Are you planning to pick them up in an emergency or during a crisis? Or is someone else going to do it for you? These are just a few of the simple questions that can be put to rest with a small amount of advance planning.

It is unfortunate that many people are separated by large distances from their homes and family during routine things such as work or school. This makes survival planning a crucial part of surviving a disaster or crisis.

A good survival plan doesn’t need to be very elaborate. It mainly needs basic information about family members in a location that is easily accessible when needed during a crisis. You will also need basic information about where you plan to go depending upon the type of disaster or crisis.
