5 Steps to Disaster Preparedness
a)
FAMILY DISASTER PREPAREDNESS IN 5 STEPS
1.
DISCUSS the disasters most likely to happen in your area and their impact on
your family’s safety. Hazards in Montana include home fires, severe winter
weather and storms, earthquakes, flooding, and hazardous materials threats.
2.
TRAIN all family members. Take first aid classes. Learn to use a fire
extinguisher and how to shut off utilities. Do not take the chance that the
only person who knows first aid or how to turn off the natural gas will be at
home when needed.
3.
ASSEMBLE your disaster supplies into a personal 72 hour emergency preparedness
kit. This would include food, water, clothing and medications to last you at
least 72 hours. You need enough supplies for each family member.
4.
IDENTIFY in and out of state emergency
contact names and numbers and provide copies to each family member. Post
a copy near your phone and put copies in your 72 hour disaster supplies kit.
When local phone service is out, family members can use their
out-of-state-contact to relay messages.
5.
MAINTAIN your readiness. Review your disaster preparedness plan with your
family at least once a year. Identify what new training, equipment or supplies
you may need. Conduct fire evacuations and earthquake “drop, cover and hold”
drills
