Lists & Plans
Lists
It’s hard to think clearly under stress. Having a list and contact information posted by the door during fire season helps remind people which neighbours to call and what to bring in an evacuation:
Emergency kit
Go box
Items not already in the emergency kit, e.g., jugs of water, cell phone, purse, pet kennel, leash, etc.
Plans
Families aren’t always together when emergencies occur. It’s a good idea to make a family plan so family members can contact each other, make sure they all have transportation, and meet at an agreed-upon location.
Contact numbers and family plans can be taped to the inside of the emergency kit's lid as well as being posted in the house.
