Family Communications Plan
Disasters can strike at any time and usually with little warning.
For this reason, it is important to plan how you will contact each family member if you are not together when a disaster occurs. Sometimes there is no cell service or Wi-Fi. Think about how you will communicate with your spouse and/or children in different situations. There is a contact form for each adult and child in your family at the end of this article. Take some time to fill it out this week.
Once you have completed your contact form, have family members keep a copy handy in a wallet, purse, or backpack. You may want to send a copy to each child’s school or daycare to keep on file.
Keep a copy of your family communications information readily accessible to all family members. A copy should also be included in your Family Preparedness Kit.
