Emergency Preparedness – Getting Home

Often during an emergency one or more members of your household will be away from home. These personal, natural and man-made disasters never happen at an ideal time. Truthfully, there is never an ideal time for an emergency. Being away from the comfort, safety and security your home provides, only adds to the stress of the emergency. Having a plan to get back to your loved ones is imperative. Realistically assess the emergency, evaluate the current and ever changing conditions. Planning and practicing your get home strategy prior to an emergency will increase the likelihood of a successful family reunion.

  • “Survive and Win Mindset”
