Household Fire Safety
Include your pet’s carrier in the household evacuation rehearsal
Make a pet carrier usable before an emergency, with a calm household rehearsal that keeps human escape and clear exits at the centre of the plan.
HOME SAFETY / PRACTICAL PREPARATION
emergency planning
Weather Emergencies
Floodwater is a reason to turn the car around, not test its depth
Flooded roads hide damaged surfaces and moving water. Plan a safe alternative instead of judging whether your vehicle can get through.
Household preparedness
An emergency meeting point needs a plan for bad weather too
Review an emergency meeting place for shelter, access and communication, while keeping official evacuation instructions ahead of any private plan.
Severe Weather
Choose a Tornado Shelter Before the Warning Interrupts Your Day
Choose a practical tornado shelter and access route ahead of severe weather, with special attention to windows, building type and household needs.
Household preparedness
When the Power Goes Out, Light and Heat Need Different Plans
Plan a power outage around safe lighting, warmth, essential devices and reliable information. Keep fuel-burning equipment out of indoor spaces.
