Step 11: Have a Plan for your Family and Yourself
The best way to arrive at a workable plan which will be remembered by your family is to practise it. If you plan on building an emergency shelter, try it now to find out if you have enough material, how much help you’ll need, if your proposed area is large enough, and how long it will take to build. Locate and practise moving essential supplies, water, clothing, bedding, etc. Practise the essential things you would have to do. If you plan to move to what you consider a safer location, make a practise run to make sure you know the quickest and safest route, that protection is available when you get there, and that you can carry all the supplies you think you’ll need.
A GOOD SURVIVAL PLAN IS A PLAN WHICH YOU KNOW YOU CAN CARRY OUT
