Make Communication Plans Before A Storm & After

11/2/2021 (Permalink)

• Talk to your child about how and when to call 9-1-1.
• Identify safe places for children and teens to go if they are not at school or with your family in an emergency. These might include a friend’s home, fire or police station, library, or place of worship. Make sure your children know how to find these safe places.
• Make sure small children know their phone number and address and your name.

Reuniting with family members

• Designate two places for family members to meet in the event of an emergency.
• Choose a location close by (for example, the street light in front of a nearby home). Instruct family members to meet there if they can do so safely in situations where only your home or the immediate area is affected.
• Choose another spot outside of the immediate area (for example, in front of a grocery store). This could be used when an emergency affects a larger area and your family members cannot get home safely.
• Use your family’s communication plan to contact each other about your location, if possible.
