Disaster Preparedness
- Relocation
Steps To Relocate Following Evacuation
It is possible during an emergency
for the family to become separated. Some family members
may be in school, at work or out of town when a disaster
requiring evacuation occurs.Therefore, it is important
that every family designate an out-of-state contact to
help coordinate family reunion plans. This plan should
help families reunite after a major disaster and/or allow
families to leave messages for one another if local
phones aren't working.
Contacting Family Members
Family members should carry the
name, address and phone number of an out-of-state contact
to help the family keep in touch. This out-of-state
contact will help relay messages to each family member
and inform them of their whereabouts. In addition, family
members should have a calling card, coins or another way
to place out-of-state calls. Coins are best since the
phone company may not process calling cards.
- Out of State Contact:
- Name:
- Address:
- Phone # (home):
- Phone # (work):
Alternative Meeting Locations
Families should establish three
alternative meeting places to meet if separated. These
locations should be within close proximity to each family
member's place of work, school or home. In addition,
family members should know the procedures at the local
school regarding how children will be released.
