    About

    The California Department of Public Health explains how to create a family disaster plan. It describes the importance of knowing what disasters could happen in your area and having a plan for emergencies at home, work, or school. Families should meet to discuss potential dangers and decide on meeting places if separated. A checklist includes emergency numbers, teaching kids how to call 911, using fire extinguishers, installing smoke detectors, and checking for hazards at home. Families should have an emergency kit ready and practice their plans regularly by conducting drills and updating supplies like food and water every few months.
