The most important part with any plan is to start talking--talk to your family, your co-workers, your neighbors, the people who are involved in your emergency plans. Start with talking. Identify your strengths, your weaknesses, your vulnerabilities. Then start putting things into place to solve those problems. For example, if you live in a high-rise building, you may need to have an additional evacuation plan that takes that into consideration. If you live in the second story or third story of a building, have a fire escape ladder. We like to think in terms of the "Rule of Two." You want two evacuation routes, so you have an additional way to get out of the building. You want two meeting places--one close by and one a little bit further away. You want to practice it--practice, practice, practice--twice a year. When you're doing that practicing, that's a good opportunity to check your supplies as well. Make sure that they're up-to-date--you don't want to take any expired food or medication. We talk, we plan, and then we practice.
