Plan for other emergencies that could happen too.
- Hurricanes aren't our only risk
- Talk about what to do if another emergency comes our way. Plan a meeting spot in case your family gets separated during an emergency. Pick the same person for everyone to call, text, or email. And remember it might be easier to reach someone who's out of town. Read more about making a plan on Ready.gov.
