Emergency Preparedness Class

I recently taught a class on being prepared for emergencies. In preparation, I put together a packet of information. The packet helps you to prepare you and your family for anything from a day at the beach to a major evacuation.

Please feel free to use the information, but please give me credit for putting it together for you:

• 72-Hour-Kit(also called a Go Kit) and a Car Emergency Kit
• Family Disaster Plan
• Financial First Aid Kit and Letter to Survivors -- this is a list of all the things you might need to have with you in an emergency. It includes copies of important records. The Letter to Survivors is a list of things you should prepare for others to have if you were to die. Not a pleasant thought, but still a necessary preparation item.
• Disasters are impending -- a list of potential disasters and the things you might need to prepare for them
• Evacuation List -- things you should grab if you are forced to evacuate your home
