What to do
Set two routes, two meeting places, and a backup destination. Leave when instructed. Take your go bag and animals when safe, share your destination with your contact, and follow official return instructions.
Before the next alert
Save local emergency management contacts and share your plan with everyone in the household. Check what supplies, accessible transportation, and pet arrangements you would need if you had to leave.
