Being prepared with a plan is not just for communities and large groups.  Every household and family should have an emergency plan.  The Prepared Plan provides a template of a household handbook that will assist in guiding the preparation of such a plan.

A book or Family Emergency Handbook with the proper information that is easily accessible to all family members when an emergency situation occurs will lessen the likelihood of: confusion, emotional distress, and delay in what could be lifesaving techniques and thoughtful procedures.
