Developing your own Disaster Plan
The West Side disaster preparedness and response committee is meeting to develop a readiness plan for West Side. Be sure YOU are prepared: DEVELOP A PERSONAL AND FAMILY DISASTER PLAN TODAY.
Here are some tips to prepare for a disaster:
- Choose a safe place in each room such as beside a safe bed or under a sturdy table or desk. Hold on.
- Have people listed to contact after a disaster, especially someone out of state to serve as a family contact person.
- Water: Store water for three days use, three gallons for each person in your family.
- Obtain a waterproof container to store supplies. Store enough non-perishable food for three days for each person in your family that require no refrigeration or cooking and little or no water.
- Have a basic first aid kit stored with at least three days supply of required medication.
- Store tools and supplies for three days such as battery powered AM radio, flashlights, ABC fire extinguisher, soap, roll of plastic sheeting and tape.
- Include in your storage extra eyeglasses, baby diapers, important papers and pet supplies.
- Have some extra clothes stored.
- Know where to shut off your utilities such as gas and water.
- For more information, refer to the more detailed disaster plan in the Health Resource center in the narthex. This is serious and important survival information.
