Have you ever talked to your kids about what to do if your house is on fire?
Do you have a Family Disaster Plan? Even a simple plan such as where family members meet if you have to run from the house? The back yard, the front yard?
Do you have an emergency supply kit in your yard or garage? You know the one that should have 3 days worth of food, 8 gallons of water per person, a first-aid kit, a radio, etc.
On Sunday the Newport Beach Fire and Police Departments hosted a Public Safety Day event that was both fun and informative. It offered an opportunity to introduce awareness of emergency situations to children in a non-threatening atmosphere and to remind parents of the importance of having CPR training and being prepared for emergencies. An estimated 1,000 adults and children attended. Check out my slideshow and if you haven’t talked to your kids and established a family plan, please do this. It’s not enough for them to practice at school. Here is a list of items that should be included in an emergency preparedness kit or you can purchase emergency kits through the Red Cross.
