Do you have an emergency kit? If you don't have one, don't stress or give up. Start small. Start with a bag or a box and put a flash light or a first aid kit in it. Each week, add one more item.
If you already have a kit, have you checked it lately?
For a list of supplies to put in your kit, check out the Dhuck kits for Individuals & Families or Pets.

| Take Your PIC |
|
| You'll need a way of keeping your important information with you. One option is to use the Take Your PIC notebook.
|
Do you and your family know where to meet or who to call if you are separated in an emergency or disaster? For a family contact plan, check out the Dhucks' family contact sheet.
If you don't know how sto start this discussion with your kids check out www. ready.gov/kids.

Be Informed
| Do you know where you can get information on your local hazards? Or where you could go for more information if there was an emergency in your area? Check out some of these resources for more information and on-line training to help prepare for emergencies.
|
Get Involved
| Once you and your family are prepared, you might consider getting prepared to help your community through the Citizen Corp or the American Red Cross. And even your local animal shelter might need your help in an emergency.
|
| And if you would like me to come talk to your organization, business, association or group of friends on getting prepared, I offer the following presentation for free:

Personal & Business Emergency Preparedness
|
Why is it that with all the brochures, checklists, websites
and reminders to prepare our businesses, our families and ourselves for a
disaster or an emergency, most people still aren’t prepared? Yes, it does have something to do with our
belief that it couldn’t happen to us, but I believe the checklists we are
handed as we’re ordered to “do it all” overwhelm most people. This presentation provides checklists and
resources, but focuses on helping participants find that one next step they can take immediately to be better
prepared.
