 | Household emergency plan
The chances of you being caught up in a major emergency are low but it’s a good idea that you and your family are ready. One way of being ready is to prepare a household emergency plan.
Here are a few things to think about for your plan:
- Have a battery operated radio, to listen to important announcements.
- Keep supplies of tinned food, bottled water, candles and matches, in case you can’t leave your home.
- Think about how you could get out of each room in your home.
- Agree a couple of meeting places for you and your family if you can’t meet back at home.
- Create your check list for a ‘go bag’ in case you need to leave your home quickly.
- Make sure you know where to turn off the electricity, gas and water supply.
- Develop your own emergency contact list.
