Tool

Family emergency plan

One sheet with who to call, where to meet and what each person needs. It stays on this device until you clear it.

Fill it in together, print one copy for each bag and save the out-of-area number in every phone.

Saved on this device only.

Then practise it

Walk the route

Go from each bedroom to the meeting spot outside, twice a year.

Test the contact

Have everyone text the out-of-area contact once, so the number is known to work.

Keep copies

One printed copy in each go-bag, one in the car, one at work.
