Answer:
If one prepares early for disasters it can save a lot of worry and paperwork if a incident does strike. A disaster can be flooding, tornadoes or other extreme weather events as well as terrorist and man-made disasters.
Families may not be together when disaster strikes, so it is important to make a plan in advance. Teach children what to do in an emergency whether they are at home or away. Establish a family meeting place that’s familiar and easy to find and have an answer to these three questions.
How will you contact one another;
Who will you designate as an out of town contact; and
How will you get back together?
It also is important to make an emergency kit. The kit should include food, water, medications, face masks and sanitizers are at the top of the list in this new day and age of preparing for pandemics along with disasters.
Try to be financially prepared in case of an emergency or disaster. This includes having an emergency savings account as well as copies of important documents and insurance paperwork. If you live in a flood zone, make sure you have flood insurance. Most homeowners insurance will not cover flood damage costs and repairs?
Be sure the home is safe and secure. Check smoke detectors and change batteries twice a year. Test them periodically to make sure they are in working order. Consider getting a carbon monoxide detector — they sound an alarm to the invisible and deadly gas from appliances that are not working properly and can produce carbon monoxide.
Medical preparedness is key, especially if someone in the family has a disability or chronic illness. Have alternate ways of using medical devices such as ventilators, specialized IV pumps and cardiac assistive devices, that require power. Keep extra batteries on hand or know where in the community to plug in devices to charge, or shelters that can handle the devices and hardware.
