Our Family Disaster Plan Notebook
E-Prep Program: Month #1
Creating a Family Disaster Plan is the first preparedness activity in our 12-Month Emergency Preparedness Program. In the folder below, you will find downloadable forms that you can use to create your Family Disaster Plan. Review the forms and decide what will be of most value to you and your family. Assemble these forms in a three ring binder. At minimum, your Family Disaster Plan notebook should contain:
- The Floor Plan page (shows escape routes, safety spots and danger spots)
- The Reunion Points page
- The Family Contact page
- Emergency Numbers & Information page
- Emergency Medical Information page for each family member
- Medical release form for each minor child.
We recommend that you calendar a family council meeting and complete the forms together.
- Store your Family Disaster Plan notebook near the telephone in the kitchen, or some other central location in your home.
- Make sure everyone in your family is familiar with the contents of your Family Disaster Plan as well as where to find it and how to use it in the event of an emergency.
- Review your plan periodically (every 6 months or 12 months) and update the information annually or as necessary.
