Emergency Contacts

Out-of-Area Contact (critical): Designate one person outside your region. Local lines jam during disasters — it's often easier to reach someone far away. Everyone in your household calls this person first to check in.

Additional household-specific notes

Making This Plan Work

✓ Practice it twice a year. Walk your household through the plan every 6 months. Kids especially need to hear it out loud, not just see it posted.
✓ Post it and distribute it. One copy on the fridge, one in each vehicle, one in each go-bag. A plan no one can find is no plan.
✓ Call your out-of-area contact now. Tell them they're your designated contact. Confirm their number works. Make sure they know what you'll need from them.
✓ Review after any major life change. New home, new family member, new job location, new medical condition — update the plan immediately.

Build out the rest of your preparedness system:
