   Do You Have a Plan for Emergencies

   If Katrina taught us anything it taught us that in the event of catastrophic disaster, you are on your own. The larger more widespread the disaster, the less likely it is that you will get immediate help from first responders. When everyone needs help, hardly anyone gets it. Remember that in a disaster, first responders have families and can be victims, too. So what do you do?
   
   Get prepared. Be prepared to take care of yourself and your loved ones. Preparedness improves the odds of survival. It’s that simple.
   
   There are basically three scenarios for disaster:

   (1) You have to shelter in place: (stay in your home for an extended period of time.)

   (2) Evacuate you home: go to temporary shelter or to the home of family or a friend.

   (3) Evacuate your area - long term: relocation for an extended period of time.
   
   Each scenario has different requirements and preparation needs, so each will be covered separately. I will also upload videos of preppers and survivalists who present tutorials on specific ways to plan ahead. The key is to have a plan. Involve everyone in your family, so that everyone knows what to do. Kids with knowledge of an emergency plan are less likely to panic and become a problem that takes time away from executing your plan. Practice. Have fire and tornado drills. Teach your children what to do and where to go in the event you are not with them when disaster strikes. Above all, give them the confidence that they will need to survive.
