Find Your Five & Share Your Plan

Increase your preparedness by sharing your plan with five trusted Emergency Allies and do the same for others. The more connected we are, the more likely we are to get accurate information in a timely manner and survive an emergency. You and your family may not be together during a fire, so consider communication strategies for your loved ones who spend time with others. Consider that telephone service may be overloaded or intermittent during an emergency event. It's a good idea to designate an out-of-town contact person for the whole family to contact and act as a hub.

Check in often with your five Emergency Allies, especially on Red Flag Warning days and hold each other accountable for maintaining well-stocked Go Bags. Remember, everyone communicates in different ways. Find what works for your group and agree to be there for each other in the event of an emergency.
