It may be necessary for you to evacuate. Get a small spare wheeled suitcase or light weight bag and pack at least the following items :
•Put a copy of your families prescriptions/medications, important family documents and insurance papers into a zippered plastic bag.
•Create a contact list. Include at minimum, names and phone numbers of family, employers and friends who live out of the area. Officials can use these to help you.
•Put in a first aid kit and some water, too!
Handy Hint
•When you or a family member receives a new prescription, make a copy of it and place it in the emergency bag.
