• Identify the 3 most likely disaster events that could impact your household
• Create an evacuation plan for the members of your household for these disasters. When would you evacuate? When would you shelter in place? Where would you go? How would you get there? What if not all members of the household were at home when the time came to evacuate? What would be the communication protocol in this situation?
• Make a list of the items that you would place in a 3-day disaster kit for your household. Use the CDC or Red Cross website to find recommendations for items to include. Are there any special items not suggested by the CDC or Red Cross that you would include for yourself or another family member? Why?
