Think. Plan. Act.
Making an emergency plan in advance allows you to consider different situations.
Use common sense and make the best decisions for you and your family.
When making your plan, think about the people and places in your daily
lives. Talk to close friends and family about their plans. Develop plans
together and include versions for work, school and other places you
spend time. The more options you can think of now, the more prepared
you will be later.
