What information can be created before the emergency?


  People can be forewarned before an emergency. Information such as what type of disaster may be taken out is important to know before an emergency. Just by knowing what sort of emergency is heading someone's way, people can get prepared. For example if a natural disaster is coming your way, you can:
• Check for hazards in the home

• Identify safe places in each room

• Locate safe places outdoors

• Ensure all family members know how to respond after an earthquake

• Teach children when and how to call 9-1-1

• Have disaster supplies on

• Develop an emergency communications plan in case of separation during the earthquake

• Ask an out-of-state relative or friend to serve as the family contact
