Know Evacuation Routes
A key part of preparing for emergencies and
disasters is knowing what you will do if the need arises.
Once you have your plan, be sure to practice it and know it.
Household Exit
Determine a
designated meeting spot outside the home to gather family
members and determine the next step. Be sure to have all
members of the family including pets in addition to your 3-day
kit and any other supplies you think you may need.
Community Evacuation
-
Plan your
destination in advance and determine if you will go to a
shelter, a friend’s home or a family home and find out in
advance if you are welcome.
-
Be aware of
the local evacuation routes out of town by tuning into the
local radio stations, new stations, or websites. You
can also call local government offices for these updates.
Floods? Hurricanes? Hazardous
Materials? Tornados? Terrorism?
Call your local Emergency Management Agency to learn about
the potential hazards in your area and surrounding community.
