DEVELOP AN EMERGENCY PLAN FOR YOUR FAMILY

  1. Discuss and plan what each person will do in various situations.
  2. Pick two meeting places:
    1. One meeting place should be near your home or business in case of a local sudden emergency, like a fire.
    2. A second meeting place should be chosen so that people will meet if they cannot return to your home or business.
  3. Make sure everyone knows the addresses and phone numbers of your meeting places.
  4. Arrange for a Family Contact that lives outside of Winnipeg. Family members can phone the contact and leave information about where they are. This will help to keep everyone aware of the situation.
  5. Have your Family Emergency Supplies Kit prepared and store it in a convenient place known to all family members.

Record this information and keep it in a safe place available to everyone.
