Part 1: Start here

When something goes wrong at home, the first few minutes are the hardest. A fire alarm at 3 a.m., a storm that takes the power for two days, a child who is not where you expect them to be. In those minutes, people do what they have practiced, not what they meant to do.

This guide helps your household decide in advance what to do, who to call, where to meet and what to keep ready. It takes a few evenings to set up, and a short check twice a year to keep it alive. It is written for families and households in the United States, in plain words.

What this guide does and does not do

It does:

  • Help you make a plan for the most likely home emergencies: fire, severe weather, power cuts, and being separated from each other.
  • Give you a "who calls whom" tree, a meeting-place plan and a one-page card for every member of the household.
  • Give you a supplies list with realistic amounts and a filled-in example plan.
  • Give you printable pages to fill in and put on the refrigerator and in a bag.
