Make a plan today. Your family may not be together if a disaster strikes, so it is important to know which types of disasters could affect your area. Know how you’ll contact one another and reconnect if separated. Establish a family meeting place that’s familiar and easy to find.

Step 1: Put a plan together by discussing the questions below with your family, friends or household to start your emergency plan.

How will I receive emergency alerts and warnings?What is my shelter plan?What is my evacuation route?What is my family/household communication plan?Do I need to update my emergency preparedness kit?

Step 2:  Consider specific needs in your household.

As you prepare your plan tailor your plans and supplies to your specific daily living needs and responsibilities. Discuss your needs and responsibilities and how people in the network can assist each other with communication, care of children, business, pets or specific needs like operating medical equipment. Create your own personal network for specific areas where you need assistance. Keep in mind some these factors when developing your plan:

Show All Answers

1.
Will anyone tell me to stay in my home or leave the area?

Yes, local government officials will provide instructions on the radio and television. Listen to their advice and follow their instructions. If local government officials advise evacuating the area, the Red Cross will open shelters in locations that will be safe. Be careful not to confuse an evacuation shelter with a room in a home or building that is selected to seal up and use to shelter-in-place.	

2.
What are the important points to remember in case we are told to "shelter-in-place?"

You should be in a place that will afford you protection from a contaminant in the air. Instructions on how to shelter-in-place are provided on the Red Cross website. Please do not confuse the recommendation to have at least three days worth of disaster supplies on hand with the amount of time that you may be asked to shelter-in-place. We always recommend having at least three days worth of supplies in case stores are closed and roads are impossible due to a disaster like a flood or winter storm. 	

3.
Does the Red Cross recommend stocking duct tape and plastic sheeting?

Yes. These materials have always been recommended to have as part of a Disasters Supplies Kit.

Clay Pit Ponds State Park Preserve

Unique areas are defined under Article 45 of the State's Environmental Conservation Law. Unique Areas are entitled to the same constitutional protection as areas within the state Forest Preserve which includes the Adirondacks. Areas so protected must remain in their natural state. 
Q: How do I avoid deer ticks?
A: Stay on hiking trails, avoiding long grass and brushing against vegetation. Wear light colored clothing, long pants and long sleeved shirts. Tuck pant legs into socks. For added protection, spray the outside of clothing with a tick repellant (follow label recommendations). Carry a lint roller and roll it on your clothes often. Ticks are very difficult to see, but this method will catch them even if you can't see them. After hiking, perform a search for ticks on your clothing. As soon as possible, take a shower and perform another tick inspection.
Q: What should I do if I see a male deer with antlers?
A: Usually deer are more afraid of us than we are them. However, if it's the rutting season, male deer can be more aggressive and territorial because they're vying for mating privileges with does. Don't panic. Stop. Slowly back away and if possible, return the same way you came. If the deer snorts and starts toward you, get behind the largest tree you can and summon help as soon as possible.
Q: How do I avoid poison ivy?
A: In order to avoid Poison Ivy, one needs to know what it looks like. If you're not familiar with it, Google it, download a picture and print it out so you can carry it with you. You can catch poison ivy from any part of the plant, so learn how to identify leaves and vines. Poison Ivy is very common and grows throughout the preserve on trees and on the ground. To be on the safe side, don't brush up against or touch vegetation you're not familiar with. If you think you have come in contact with poison ivy, wash that area thoroughly with a product like Technu, which washes the poison ivy oils away.

Food & Drink

Overview

Overview
The right foods help you not only to live but to live well. People often do not realize their food choices affect the way they feel, both physically and emotionally.

Why are food and drink important?
Making healthy choices about what you eat and drink is a powerful way to care for yourself. Food and drink give our bodies the fuel used to work properly, stay healthy, and fight disease. Choosing foods that nourish rather than harm your body may help prevent chronic conditions and the need for certain medications in the future. Food can also be used to help treat some health conditions.
The resources offered here will help you manage your food and drink for better health and well-being.
How can I use food and drink to improve my health?
You can use food and drink to improve your health in many ways. The list below will give you some ideas on how your Whole Health can be improved through food and drink. Different people will have different needs and goals. Your primary health care team and a dietitian can suggest which foods to eat and which to eat less for each of the issues listed.

Consejos de seguridad para el invierno
Cuando sea posible, use rastrillos o palos para nieve de mango largo.
Si debe usar una escalera, asegúrese de que la base esté bien anclada. Pídele a un amigo, vecino o familiar adulto que sostenga la escalera mientras subes.
Sepa dónde va a caer la nieve antes de despejar el área.
Asegúrese de no hacer contacto con los cables eléctricos.
Si es posible, no intente despejar el techo solo.
Si tiene miedo a las alturas o cree que el trabajo es demasiado grande para usted, contrate ayuda.

Esfuerzo físico
El esfuerzo intenso, como palear nieve, limpiar escombros o empujar un automóvil, puede aumentar el riesgo de sufrir un ataque al corazón. Para evitar problemas:
Manténgase abrigado, vístase abrigado y DISMINUYA LA VELOCIDAD cuando trabaje al aire libre.
Tome descansos frecuentes para evitar el sobreesfuerzo.
Si siente dolor en el pecho, DETÉNGASE y busque ayuda de inmediato.

Protect Your Property
Everyone faces the risk of natural disaster and no plan to protect property can be complete without insurance coverage against potential damage and loss.  It is important to know exactly what coverage you may need and what coverage is available to protect your property against all of the natural hazards it may be exposed to so that you are not underinsured or not insured at all. Check with your insurance company or local insurance agent.
FEMA strongly encourages property owners and renters to fully explore their insurance needs and obtain adequate coverage before a disaster strikes.

Hiking Safety Tips
Take the following precautions to avoid them:

Walk in the middle of trails.
Use insect repellent.
Tuck your pants into your socks.
After taking off gear, check for hitchhiking ticks.
Always do a “tick check” with the help of a friend.

Poison oak: It is a common plant throughout much of California. Learn to identify its shiny, three-leaf pattern, and avoid touching it. If you touch poison oak, wash immediately with water and mild soap. Pat dry with a clean towel.

FEMA: Emergency Response Action Steps:
Contact architectural conservators, historic preservation agencies, FEMA, and/or structural engineers before cleanup, especially for buildings on the National Register of Historic Places.
Follow the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Treatment of Historic Properties (pp.17-59).
Remove standing water from basement and crawl spaces. Contact a structural engineer before pumping water; pumping can collapse foundation when groundwater is high.
Remove flood-soaked insulation, wallboard and non-historic wall coverings. Support loose plaster with plywood and wood "T" braces.
Clean historic elements first. Use non-abrasive household cleansers.
If you treat non-historic features, do not harm historic elements.
Inventory found items, loose decorative elements, furnishings and collections. Save for reuse or as restoration models.
Air dry with good ventilation. Never use systems that pump in super-dry air.
