Alert Program

 Prepare for Disasters
 
September is DISASTER PREPAREDNESS Month  See the information bwlow from our club's plan.  There are a lot of other sources of information on the subject available in the club's plan and on the web.  

SIMPLE FAMILY DISASTER PLAN

 .  Keep copies in all vehicles, with neighbors, and in possession of all family members and out-of-town contacts
 .  Review this information periodically with family members, family contacts, and neighbors
 .  Update when needed
 .  Directions to locations are useful because people forget things like that in a crisis. Also, someone may need to
meet you there (for example, to bring you a family member who could not join you initially when you evacuated.
