Easy - because you can get back to your nomal life so much faster and with a lot less stress if you have taken action ahead of time! Just like preparing a first aid kit or an emergency plan of where you will go to connect with family members if there has been a natural disaster or home fire, you will be able to gain control of the recovery process.
National Preparedness Month - September - is a time that we encourage everyone to take those steps to prepare their families in the event of a disaster. You can even help others through a disaster if you are freed from those terrible tasks of finding your loved ones, contacting insurance and service companies and putting together the documentation needed.
The basics include:
- Get an emergency kit
- Make a plan
- Be Informed
Know your local public services contact information and put it in your emergency kit. Also, put bank and medical information, family members contact numbers, and safe meeting places in the kit and your cell phone. Do this now - don't wait for the roar of a tornado heading your way!
