home emergency plan

Have you thought about what you and your whānau will do if you have to evacuate your home?

A household emergency plan lets everyone in your household know what to do in an emergency and how to get ready. Having a plan helps make actual emergency situations less stressful. Make a plan with your whānau to get through an emergency. Think about the things you need every day and work out what you would do if you didn't have them.

Some simple things to think about are:

• Have your grab bag handy and ready to go (batteries, torch, first aid, medication, water, snacks, change of clothes).

• Consider making a grab bag for your furry friend too (food, water, lead, carriers)
