📝 Make a Plan.

It’s National Preparedness Month! This week’s focus: make a plan.

Emergencies don't wait for a convenient time.

Does your family know what to do? A good plan covers:

📞 Emergency contacts: a list of family, friends, and an out-of-town contact everyone can reach

📍 Meeting places: one spot near home and one outside the neighborhood, in case you can't get back to your home

💊 Medical information: allergies, medications, conditions, and insurance information for every family member

Sit down with your household this week and put it in writing so everyone knows what to do. Discuss different scenarios and gameplan contingencies.

A few minutes now can make all the difference later!
