Basic Emergency Prerparedness Information: 


1. Know your Region - Know what type of disasters happen in the area you live.


2. Learn CPR and Basic First Aid - These courses do not require a lot of time, but the information and tools you will learn are invaluable in the event of an emergency. 


3. Plan for Communication - Designate relatives outside the local area that should be contacted in an event of an emergency.


4. Designate a Meeting Place - Choose a place outdoors that is close to home.


5. Be Prepared to Evacuate - Establish escape routes and practice them.


6. Have an Emergency Kit - This kit should include water (1 or 2 gallons per person), non-perishable food, can opener, blanket, first aid kit, battery powered radio, flashlight, prescription medicine, eyeglasses or contacts, sanitation and hygiene items, and copies of important documents like IDs, passports, and insurance information. 


7. Prepare Pets - Keep vaccination records handy and pack food.


8. Make Your Car Disaster Ready - Have a small emergency kit that can be removed from car. Make sure your gas tank is full.


9. Be Ready at Work - Familiarize yourself with evacuation routes in your office. Be sure to know the locations of fire extinguishers and AEDS inside the building.


10. Create Emergency Contact Cards - These should contain phone numbers to call in emergencies, addresses of meeting places, and other helpful information. When disaster strikes, it can be difficult to remember information.
