No matter how much you want to stay at home, there are times when evacuation is the only option. These events can include nuclear, chemical or biological as well as any disaster that can destroy your home. An evacuation plan is essential to your Family Emergency Plan should include where to go, how to get and what to bring.
Where to go
If given the order to evacuate, do it promptly and carefully following the instructions given by local authorities. If you set a local shelter will be advised to go there. But if you're sitting in a gymnasium of a school you like and can not leave the area, a safe house or a safe haven in a place where the current crisis is not a danger could be a good alternative.
The easiest way to create a safe house is to coordinate with a friend or family member that is located about 100 or 150 miles away. A summer house, a hunting lodge or a second home can serve as a refuge if they are lucky to have one. For example:
* If you live in the city, these shelters should be in a rural area or at least a small town, preferably not in the suburbs of the city.
* If you live on the coast, which is inland.
* If you are near a flood area, the shelter should be on high ground.
By following these guidelines, you can be relatively sure of some things:
* Any disaster you face are not going to affect them and vice versa. This allows a shelter to the other then when they face an emergency situation, your home can be a refuge for them.
* going to go to a specific place, not only out of danger.
* You can get a tank of petrol, even if traffic is heavy.
* No you will not see where the hotel (the hotels fill up quickly and usually at high prices)
Getting Any option you choose for your shelter, the best way to get there is by car. It is convenient (most of us have), offers some protection, is relatively faster and allows us to carry more stuff than on foot or by bicycle.
And the old adage of never letting the gas tank is less than half make much sense.
And while talking about cars, make sure yours is in good condition mechanically.
One of the most critical factors is the evacuation plan an evacuation route. You should memorize several routes to your shelter and have maps on hand to identify alternative routes if there are accidents or other problems in the area.
What to bring A bag of 72 hours and possibly only what they can grab in an emergency.
When the fire alarm sounds, for example, look for children, backpacks with beds and go. Each family member should have one next to your bed or under it.
Depending on the emergency and whether they take place in your car, they can also bring a tent, sleeping bags and other equipment for survival / camping. Most of these things must be in an accessible place, preferably outside the home if an earthquake and are under rubble, etc.
Guidelines
