Emergency plans can help to make sure you keep in contact with important family and friends.

• Create and practice a family communications plan in case you are separated during an emergency.
• Select a family meeting spot where everyone can go in case you are separated.
• Make sure all family members have an emergency contact list. The contact list should include a friend or family member that lives out of state as it may be easier to make a non-local call after an emergency.
• Learn where your city or town's shelter is located and how to get there.
