safe during an emergency, you first need a good supply kit.

documents: insurance, bank records, etc. in a waterproof plastic bag

And
of course: Medications!
It
is also extremely important to review your emergency plan with your family.
Know
where to go during an emergency, setting up meeting places depending on if you
are at home indoors, outdoors, or at a different location.
Always
have an emergency contact number available.
Also, write down (save) phone numbers of insurance companies, emergency
services, utilities, medical providers, etc.
Make
sure to practice and review your plan periodically so you are prepared if an
emergency does occur.
