Write down and share each aspect of your emergency plan with everyone in your support network. Make sure everyone knows how you plan to evacuate your home or workplace and where you will go in case of a disaster. Make sure that someone in your local network has an extra key to your home and knows where you keep your emergency supplies.

Practice your plan with those who have agreed to be part of your network Click here for more information on Preparing Makes Sense for Older Americans Preparing Makes Sense for People with Disabilities and Special Needs Information courtesy of Dept. of Homeland Security
