Make a plan today. Your family may not be together if a disaster strikes, so it is important to know which types of disasters could affect your area. Know how you’ll contact one another and reconnect if separated. Establish a family meeting place that’s familiar and easy to find.
Put a plan together by discussing the questions below with your family, friends or household to start your emergency plan. Be sure to consider the following:
Consider the specific needs of your household.
As you prepare your plan, tailor your plans and supplies to your specific daily living needs and responsibilities. Discuss your needs and responsibilities and how people in the network can assist each other with communication, care of children, business, pets or specific needs like operating medical equipment. Create your own personal network for specific areas where you need assistance. Keep in mind some these factors when developing your plan:
Create a Family Emergency Plan. There's a simple online form available at Ready.gov that makes it easy!
Practice your plan with your family/household.
In an emergency, the first thing you need to do is evacuate if you are directed to do so by the authorities. The best way to be alerted to emergencies in our community is through Ready Wake, which offers voice or text communications about potential safety hazards and concerns as well as what action (if any) you should take. To stay updated with local weather conditions listen to your local radio or television stations, such as WRAL, or use National Weather Service official or partner sites. Be sure to follow evacuation instructions early to avoid possible danger.
Carefully follow directions and instructions to an area shelter opened for the disaster. FEMA offers a free app to help locate emergency shelters and disaster recovery centers as well. You can also bring items for your comfort and convenience.
If you are confined to your home or must evacuate as a result of severe weather or disaster, an emergency supplies kit can be useful. Keep it readily accessible for safety, comfort, and convenience. All household members should know where it is stored. Replace food, water, medical supplies, and batteries as needed. Place the items you need during an emergency in an easy-to-carry container.
We recommend the following items when assembling your supplies kit:
For safety/survival
For comfort
For convenience
For the car – assemble a smaller kit and store in vehicle
Nobody expects a fire, but it's very important to have a plan just in case. Fire can happen anywhere, in your home, apartment, or place of business. In case of a fire, what you don't know can hurt you. Keep in mind, fires don't always happen to someone else. Escape plans will differ for each type of building. It's up to you to plan the proper escape from your particular building.
A home is typically the most expensive single purchase one makes in their lifetime. While an incident or natural disaster may not spare our home, taking these actions can help mitigate the effects and make life after an emergency event easier.
