Family Disaster Plan
Unlike a hurricane or a flood, there will likely be NO WARNING in the event of a terrorist attack or other disaster. We can make sure that our families know what we would do to account for each other in a disaster.
A Family Disaster Plan is critical and should be in place at all times. Your family's plan should include Emergency Contacts, identification of Rally Points, a Disaster Supply Kit, and more.
With some simple planning this can be done and help alleviate the fear of the unknown.
