Every member of your household should be involved in developing your Home Emergency Plan, discussing things such as:
- How a severe storm could impact your home
- The location of exit points in the house
- Where to go if you need to evacuate
- How to stay in contact if you’re separated from each other
- Requirements for those with medical conditions or special needs
- What to do with any pets
- What to include in your Home Emergency Kit
- Whether your insurance is adequate and current
Tips:
- Review your Home Safety Emergency Plan on a regular basis so that everyone is familiar with what to do if a major storm occurs.
- Talk to your neighbours about emergency action plans to ensure people get the help they need before, during and after severe storms.
