Key Emergency Preparedness Steps:

1. Make a plan:  Talk to your family about how you will communicate before, during, and after a disaster. Choose a primary and secondary meeting place in case an emergency affects your home or neighborhood and designate an out-of-state contact for family members to call in case you are separated. Teach youth to prepare for disasters. Businesses, community groups and families should practice safety drills.

2. Build a kit: Gather supplies that will last for several days after a disaster for everyone living in your household, including food and water. Consider the unique needs each person or pet may have in case you have to evacuate quickly. Include provisions for infants and medically fragile family members. Keep an emergency kit in your car.            
3. Be informed:  Know the risk of dangers in your area and check your insurance coverage. Learn how to make your home stronger in the face of storms and other common hazards and act fast if you receive a local warning or alert. In an emergency, stay tuned to local TV or radio stations for alerts, instructions, and official notifications. Follow Clark County on social media @ClarkCountyNV.
