Who will care for your loved ones when a disaster keeps you from getting home?

How to prepare:

 

 

Disaster can strike at any time, quickly and without warning.

As hospital staff, whether you are a physician, nurse or ancillary services provider, if a disaster strikes you probably will not be able to leave and go home to your family.

WHAT WILL YOUR FAMILY DO?

Who will pick up your children from daycare/school?

Does your children's school have a disaster plan?

Who will see that your elderly parent is given the correct medication?

Do you have a plan?

Do you have a disaster supplies kit ready?


WHAT ABOUT YOUR PETS?

Who will care for them if you cannot be there?

Have you left instructions and a house key with a close neighbor, family member or friend?
