Prepare For Disaster : The Five Step Plan #3 Develop your emergency plan

Involve all family and household members in planning: don't forget babysitters and other household help.

Discuss all possible exit routes from each room, the building and the neighborhood.
Decide where you will reunite after a disaster. Pickt two places to meet: one right outside your home in case of sudden emergency such as fire and one outside your neighborhood in case you are unable to return home.
Find safe places in your home for each type of disaster.
Put emergency numbers besides each telephone
Clear hallways and exits for easy evacuation
Locate the main water, electricity and gas shut-off valves
Know how and when to switch them off. Only PG&E can turn your as back on so don't turn it off unnecessarily
Account for everybody's needs especially seniors, people with disabilities, children and non-English speakers
Keep your vehicle in good working order and be sure the gas tank is always at least half full
Practice. Conduct emergency drills. Walk through your plan with all household members, check your smoke detectors and be sure to practice "Drop, Cover and Hold" and other exercises at least every six months
Schedule time on the days that the clocks change to check and rotate your supplies as well as to review and practice your emergency drills
