Develop a written plan for how you will prepare in advance for the most likely disaster(s) that may occur in your area.

Develop a written plan for how you will communicate with others during the most likely disaster(s) in your area. Identify who you will communicate with, and why.

Develop a written plan for what you will do after a disaster strikes.

Include in your written plans a process for teaching the plan to other family members, and how the plan will be periodically updated.
