This is a great outline you will need to put an emergency disaster communication plan together. If you actually follow what I’m about to tell you, and distribute it to all your family it will make communication easier during a disaster. This is not something I just dreamed up. The department of Home Land Security developed it. It’s a great plan and everyone should have one. You never know when it might be needed.
First you need basic information like: Out of town contact name
• Home Telephone #
• Mobile phone (cell phone) #
• Email address
Right down the following information for each family member and keep it up to date:
• Name
• Birth date
• Social security number
• Important medical information
Where to go in case of emergency: Write down where your family spends the most time: Home, work, school and other places you frequent like daycare providers, and apartment buildings they should all have site-specific emergency plan.
Home:
• Address
• Phone #
• Neighborhood meeting place
• Regional meeting place
Work:
• Address
• Phone#
• Evacuation plan
School:
• Address
• Phone#
• Evacuation plan
Other places you frequent:

Now you are set! You have just made a communication plan in case of a disaster. I really hope that you take this plan an implement it. This plan is a terrific way to assure everyone is on the same page. It is also assuring knowing where all your family members are or are going to be in the event something happens.Remember the best time to learn your lesson about personal security, self defense, and preparedness is before something happens,
