How to behave in case of emergency

ALWAYS BE PREPARED!

In our world of current disasters and weather changes, it is important to be prepared for any last minute 

surprises… Whether they are from earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, 

firestorms, extreme heat/cold or floods/droughts. Here are some ideas 

for things to do for any emergency: Maintain a list of emergency 

telephone numbers at your fingertips. Create an emergency evacuation 

plan. Keep all of your important papers in one safe place, including 

copy of documentation on your family keep travel carriers close to the 

door for quick evacuation. Keep your car’s tank filled up. Make a list 

of emergencies and what to do for each one, in order to remind 

yourself should you get upset in an emergency. Include the telephone number for your veterinarian. 

Keep a first-aid kit on hand with you and 

make sure to update it every six months. 

Keep at least three days supply of water and food on hand. Always update the supplies. This also 

includes some of your family's favorite "dried" foods, such as canned 

food or soup, which your family will eat, no matter the 

circumstances. If you’re in an earthquake area (or potential area), 

make sure your baggage is strong enough to withstand the 

pressures. Always have the following supplies: flashlights/batteries; 

(non-scented) candles/matches; portable radio/batteries; 

disinfectant/bleach; gas lanterns/fuel; first-aid kit/spray bottle; 

and blankets.
