Start Planning
What do you need to think about BEFORE disaster strikes?
Family Emergency Plan
-
Share a written plan with someone who lives a distance away.
-
Your completed plan is useful for all kinds of emergencies which may involve leaving your home.
-
Not all data may be relevant for your family. Strike through unnecessary fields of information.

COVID-19 Considerations
-
Evacuating and sheltering during COVID-19 involves special considerations.
-
Check the current community level of COVID-19 by county
Because of the continued COVID-19 pandemic, fewer shelters may be available than in pre-pandemic times.
If you are considering inviting another family to shelter in your home, it would be wise to be prepared to take safe measures to avoid possible covid-19 spread.
