Family Evacuation Plan

Wildfire Approaching

• How much time will you have to prepare?

• Immediate may mean 15 minutes to depart - what can you prepare in that time?

• Prepare for several days without shelter?

• What is most important to save?

• Take prepared Go-bags and evacuate

Earthquake

• You may need to evacuate because of damage, possible aftershocks or threat of fires

• You may need to shelter-in-place for a time

Shelter-in-place

• Shelter at your home or at with a neighbor with an undamaged home

• Plan for living 2-weeks without power, internet or city water

• Plan for possibly living outside for a time

Evacuation

• Who will you call or text?

• Where will you meet if separated?

• What alternate routes will you take if the main route is blocked or stopped traffic?

Don't forget to plan for:

• Clothing and bedding

• Pets - carriers, leashes, food, medications

• Prescriptions - have extra supply for emergencies, but don’t keep them in the Go-bag due to expiration dates

• Cash - small bills - how much will you need if ATMs are not dispensing?

• Important papers - passports, insurance policies

Check in with your LEP Block Captain before evacuation so that they know you are safe!
