Make a Plan

When a disaster or emergency strikes, it's too late to plan. A key component to being Ozarks Ready includes developing a plan of action specifically designed for you and your family. It only takes a few moments to create but when needed a plan can provide an orderly way for your family to communicate and operate during a crisis. Make sure you regularly discuss the plan with your family and makes updates as needs or circumstances change.

What does a plan include?

How will my family get emergency alerts and warnings?
How will my family get to safe locations for relevant emergencies?
How will my family get in touch if cell phone, internet, or landline doesn’t work?
How will I let loved ones know I am safe?
How will my family get to a meeting place after the emergency?
How will I keep track of my family’s pertinent medical and other vital information?
What is the emergency plan at my children’s schools and at my workplace?
