العائلات
التخطيط معًا لأي حالة طارئة
عند وقوع كارثة، يكون أول ما يتبادر إلى ذهن معظم الناس هو عائلاتهم. وبحسب الظروف، قد تجدون أنفسكم منفصلين وتحاولون جاهدين إعادة التواصل. بالتخطيط المسبق، يمكنكم وضع خطة لكيفية التواصل، وكيفية لمّ الشمل، وماذا ستفعلون في مختلف المواقف. قد تصبح هذه الخطة أكثر صعوبة إذا استدعت طبيعة الطوارئ إجلاءكم الفوري من المنطقة. لذا، ستحتاجون أنتم وعائلاتكم إلى فهم كلا الاحتمالين والتخطيط لهما.
Make a Plan for Your Family
-
Identify an out-of-town contact for every member of your household. Phone lines are often busy or out of service during major disasters, and it may be easier to make a long-distance phone call than to call across town.
-
Make sure your family is prepared to use text messaging. This tactic can be used when network disruptions prevent a phone call from connecting.
-
Equip your family with various emergency contact’s information including address, landlines, and cell phone numbers. Program your emergency contact as “ICE” (In Case of Emergency) in your phone. If you are in an accident, emergency personnel will often check your ICE listings in order to get a hold of someone you know.
-
Add a designated “Home” or “Work” entry so that these phone numbers can be easily accessed in an emergency situation.
-
Empower your kids to become part of the emergency planning process. Quiz kids about the family plan at dinner.
-
Shop for your emergency supply kit with the kids. Be sure they know where the kits are stored.
-
Identify a location where the family will reunite after an emergency.
