Disasters happen abruptly and frequently without warning.
For example, when an earthquake strikes, the ground will suddenly tremble and shake - sometimes violently for as long as 60 to 90 seconds. Studies prove that many people are killed or injured as they run out of their homes or offices where windows are breaking, bricks are falling, sidewalks are cracking and power lines are coming down. Developing a Family Disaster Plan will help you and your loved ones conquer the instinct to run by teaching you how to be safe and giving you a set of procedures to follow. If you have not already done so, organize your family into a council and find out what disasters, both natural and technological, could happen in your area. Share mitigation responsibilities and work together as a team.
