An emergency situation is hard to predict. So it’s helpful to think about it beforehand. You can do that with an emergency plan. An emergency plan is very simple. It sets out clear agreements with the people around you about what everyone will do in an emergency. For example, how to reach or meet up with each other and who needs extra help.
Making your own emergency plan
You can write down your plan on paper or on your phone or computer. Make sure you always have a copy in case the power goes or there is no internet. Discuss the emergency plan with others as well – for example, your partner, children, neighbours or parents.
