What are your emergency plans?

Having: first aid bag, water, flash light, fruit, matches, candles, blankets, a change of clothes, letting family know ahead of time where I'll be. Try to be calm and staying focused.

We have 72 hour kits, which we change out as needed. A great first aid kit, with hand warmers and instant ice packs. Clothing, changed by the season. Water for cleaning and drinking, one gallon per day per person. Cleaning supplies, soap, disposable washcloths, towels, etc.

In our vehicle we store a little propane cooker with the pans and utensils to cook with. Eating utensils and plates and cups. These come in a package we purchased several years ago. 

Blankets are in the vehicle, used to cover the seat until needed. 

Toilet paper and some type of cleansing wipes, change out to be sure they are moist when needed.

We keep batteries and radios stored there also. 

I know that sounds like a ton to store in a truck, but ours has a storage area under the back seat which fits most everything but the water. Including some tools. Most important is the food storage which is in small packages and good for 25 years. 

We know where to meet our family if possible, and they are prepared also to the best of their ability. 

Yes indeed.  If Donald is re elected I'm swimming across Lake Ontario and hide in Canada

I woke up at 5:30 Friday morning to the blind homeowner that I take care of screaming fire!!! As I got dressed and ran upstairs and got him out of the house the fire department showed up and put out the fire thank God. Now he being the homeowner should have had insurance but he doesn't!! After pulling him out of the fire I was able to salvage some of my belongings but not much. The American red Cross paid for a hotel room for three nights for me but after that I'm looking at homelessness for the first time in my life. I'm a 52-year-old man who just applied for his disability if anybody can point me to any resources in Jefferson City Missouri I would be more than grateful my name is Christopher Reynolds my email is.. creyn68@gmail.com i wish i had a plan. I have no family, i was an only child. And this is a situation i am very much afraid of with winter coming fast. To be pointed in a direction that has a glimmer of hope would be very much appreciated. Thank you and God bless

    First when I shop I always pickup bulk items that can sustain me if things get tough, like big storms, financial system melt down, political turmoil, natural colamities like earthquakes, flood, etc, sickness as the current pandemic and keeps one calm to know your ready if things go bezerk!!  Learn how to garden and process the food at harvest. Plus get heirlooms seeds, so you can also have seeds every year, because you use your crop also produce seeds for you. But you can only do this with heirloom seeds, because most seed is hybrids and your crops can only be eaten. Hybrids don’t produce seeds that will grow like their parent plants, so every year with hybrids got to buy new seeds Every Year. Your stuck into buying every year new seed which costs money. Thank you for your ears. My Best. 

How would I start a plan?

We have backpack for each family member.  Each pack includes, flashlight, extra batteries, supply of water, snacks & freeze-dried food, person-specific medication, compass, small first aid kit, 2 extra sets of clothes, books/games/puzzles/entertainment, whistle, pen & paper, and toothbrush.  We also keep a backpack we call the family pack.  The  items in this pack are for the entire family:

radio/batteries;  extra phone chargers;   small tool kit;  blankets;  toilet paper;  freeze dried food; water; and first aid kit.   It's quite a bit, but once there, it doesn't have to be replaced except for the food and water, and freeze-dried food usually last 10 years.  Of course, medication should be rotated out and used, keeping the newest prescriptions in the backpack.  This may sound like overkill to some people, but if you have to leave quickly, you will be thankful you had made this preparation.    (Examples:  California wildfires;  last-minute hurricane evacuations;  must move to a shelter due to a tornado, flooding or other disaster.  Good luck!

Unfortunately, I do not have one. I think I have taken for granted that there has not been a disaster in the city I live.that I am too relaxed. However, after reading this article, I will be getting one together. 

Here in South Carolina, it is possible to experience nearly every type of in climate weather:

We live on a fault line & can experience an earthquake, we have experienced hurricanes, tornadoes,  the city of Charleston burned over 100 years ago, and we have had ice & snow storms. 
Our readiness plan is to evacuate prior to hurricanes with our family. If we have a natural disaster when we are at home, we always have a large supply of medication, gas for our grill & many batteries for our flashlights. We always keeps 2 weeks of food in the house. 

For a storm, I have water, flashlights, hiking boots, blankets and pillows and a bicycle helmet in my downstairs bathroom.

if I have to leave my home PDQ, I have scanned/emailed copies of all my important documents,  including prescriptions to 2 of my email accounts.  I never park my car with less than 1/4 tank of gas ⛽️ 

Best!!
