An Emergency Plan outlines your household’s actions in response to a local emergency or natural disaster. With a clear plan, each member of your family speeds up their reaction to an immediate threat such as a natural disaster (like a flood, fire, or extreme weather) or human-caused hazard (such as a chemical spill or transportation accident). Emergency situations may call for you to evacuate your area or take shelter at home. An Emergency Plan is a valuable tool for assessing the potential risks in your environment and planning your response to them ahead of time. The essential components of LawDepot’s Emergency Plan template include:
General information about your household (medical histories and insurance policies)
Contact details for key people and services
Processes and guidelines for evacuation and sheltering at home
Emergency preparedness checklists (documents, first aid, and essential items)
