Planning for how to maintain and protect your health in a disaster or emergency is an important but often overlooked part of the preparedness process. While 80% of respondents to FEMA’s 2019 National Household Survey said they had gathered enough supplies to last three or more days, just 48% said they had an emergency action plan. Involve your entire family in planning and practicing how to stay healthy, informed, calm, and connected during an emergency.
