Emergency Management Plan
If an evacuation is ordered, be prepared to do the following:
- Tune in to Emergency Broadcast System.
- If ordered to evacuate, follow instructions of emergency management officials.
- Take your emergency kit.
- Wear long sleeve shirts, long pants and sturdy shoes so you can be protected as much as possible.
- Lock your home, including doors and windows.
- Use travel routes specified by local authorities (do not use short cuts as they may be impassable or dangerous).
- Do not assume a shelter has everything you need. Shelters generally supply meals, cots and blankets.
- Bring at least one change of clothing for each family member.
- Take medications, eyeglasses, canes, dentures and walkers.
- Take personal articles such as toothbrushes, deodorant etc.
- If required, bring items for your baby.
- Bring books puzzles, games and cards for entertainment.
- Have cash or Travelers Checks on hand. Be sure to include some change.
