When is the best time to figure out what to do in an emergency? Before you find yourself in the emergency! You may not have time to think-- just act. Disaster drills can help.

Emergencies can come in many shapes and forms:

• Fire
• Flood
• Hurricane/Tornado
• Accident
• Bomb or explosion
• Crime

Do you and more importantly, your family know what to do? A smart, self reliant move would be to:

• Plan
• Review
• Practice

Make sure the kids know the plan. Test them from time to time. Have a run-through practice.

The family should know:

• What to do
• Where to meet
• Who to go to or contact
• When to act
• Why it is important
• How to do the right things that can save lives

It may seem a little silly, but better safe, than sorry.
