At I. Dachs & Sons, we believe that preparation is the key to safety and resilience. Explore our comprehensive resources for Disaster Preparedness, tailored to help you protect your family, home, and business.
Building a foundation for disaster preparedness starts with understanding emergency basics and being prepared for any emergency starts with a solid foundation. This guide covers essential steps for disaster readiness in any situation.
Key Steps to Prepare:
- Create a Family Emergency Plan: Outline how your family will communicate and where you will meet if separated.
- Build a Disaster Supply Kit: Include non-perishable food, water (1 gallon/person/day for 3 days), medications, flashlights, batteries, first aid supplies, cash, and important documents.
- Develop a Communications Plan: Designate an out-of-town contact, ensure everyone knows key phone numbers, and keep mobile devices charged.
- Plan Evacuation Routes: Identify safe exits from your home and neighborhood. Know your local emergency shelters.
- Stay Informed: Sign up for local alerts and warnings. Have a NOAA Weather Radio or app for real-time updates.
