Design Your Custom Emergency Plan
When Disaster Strikes (by Matthew Stein) - Emergency Plan Outline: This very comprehensive outline will enhance the basic Emergency Preparations Checklist. Don't get overwhelmed but use it to consider all possibilites; using the parts that work for you. Start small then work toward something with more detail. All members of your personal support network (family, friends and others who help you on a routine basis) should have a current copy of your Emergency Plan and should review it with you on a periodic basis (at least once a year).
Prepare checklists of things to do and things to take before an evacuation.
