Emergencies and disasters happen every day........

Be prepared!  Make a plan.  Practice your plan and review it with your family.  Your plan should include how you would evacuate your residence or business and where you all would meet outside in instances such as a fire or gas leak.  It should also include who do you need to contact in case of a medical emergency and who to call in case any of you get separated and where to go.
