Set Goals Action Plan

Set goals for your actions. It is easier to write down an action plan before you need it.
Action plans can always be adjusted.

Write down a few "what if" action plans. So you will have a good concept of what you will do and why.

Note where you will go if you need to leave your home. Where would eat, rest, regroup? Who is in charge of each type of supply will will need?

Action plans can be in an outline format or extremely detailed. It is your plan. Create it so you and your family members can easily read and follow it.

It is a very good idea to have your plan in a 3-ring note book with plastic or laminated pages. The last thing you want is to lose your entire plan do to water damage.

This is no different than having an action plan if your home should catch on fire.
