Make a Family Emergency Plan
From disaster preparedness checklists to weather disaster basics for kids, you can help your family be prepared for any emergency.
Creating your family’s emergency plan together is a great way to help children remember important details about what to do — and whom to ask for help.
- Together with kids, fill out these pages. You can print them or save and email them to the important people in kids’ lives. Display where kids can see it.
- From time to time, ask kids about the important people and places in your plan. Who could kids call (or ask a grown-up to call) if they can’t reach a parent? Where should they meet in an emergency? Who is their out-of-town emergency contact?
