In the wake of the May 20 tornado in Moore, Okla., it's important to review how best to be prepared for a natural disaster. Here are five action steps for personal preparedness from the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health.
You need a communication plan (how your family will communicate and survive during an emergency). Check out our Family Disaster Plan here.
Every family member must be included in the planning phase and must know the communication plan. Include: emergency contact information and numbers, and choose a meet-up place in case you are separated. Ready.gov has communication plans and family emergency plans in English and en Español (in Spanish).
