EMERGENCY PLANNING
HAVE A BAG READY
Put the following items together in a
backpack, or 'go-bag' in case you must evacuate quickly. Prepare one
go-bag for each family member and make sure each has an I.D. tag. You
may not be at home when an emergency strikes so keep some additional
supplies in your car and at work, considering what you would need for
your immediate safety.
