Remember...Preparedness Starts at Home! Communication is essential during a disaster. Do you have a plan?

Week 1 of our Preparedness Challenge starts with communication. 📱

In an emergency, stress can rise quickly if you can’t reach loved ones. Creating a simple plan now, like choosing a meeting spot and writing down emergency contacts, can make a world of difference later.

💙 Preparedness is about protecting both your safety and your peace of mind.

We all have responsibilities for our families, pets, neighbors and communities. By taking steps now, you can be in control of both your safety and those you care about before, during and after a disaster. Think about what you’ll need and how the people in your social circles can help each other. A great place to start is by knowing the risks where you are. Then, make a plan and build an emergency supply kit to help keep yourself and those you love safe and comfortable during and after a disaster. Finally, get involved by keeping up to date with your community’s emergency and disaster plan and working with neighbors to prepare. Do you know the risks in your area? Oklahoma weather is certainly one!

Does your family know what to do when a disaster strikes? If you don't already hava a family preparedness plan, now's the time to make one. When making your plans, make sure you consider any unique needs of those you care for, whether it be medical conditions, loved ones with disabilities, your pets, and any neighbors who might need help getting prepared. You're plan should include:
📍Establish meeting points
🎒Assign responsibilities
🚗Practice evacuation routes
📱Create a communication plan

But, remember this is just the start, each family is different, so make your plan fit your needs. Preparedness starts at home.

National Preparedness Month is a great time to take small steps to make a big difference in being prepared. Let's face it, Oklahoma is no stranger to disaster. Getting yourself, your family (including pets) and your home ready for emergencies like home fires, power outages and local floods means you’re more prepared for disasters like wildfires, flash flooding, tornados and more. Are you ready? If not, now's the perfect time to start! Remember, preparedness starts at home!
