The purpose behind The Family Emergency Plan workbook is not to convince you that disaster is hiding behind every cloud, parked outside your house, or waiting for you at the next traffic light. The purpose is much simpler: to help your household make a few important decisions before stress, noise, darkness, bad weather, road closures, or an urgent telephone call makes those decisions harder.
Most families have fragments of an emergency plan. Someone knows where the flashlights are. Someone else remembers the name of the insurance agent. A child has heard that the family should meet by the mailbox if there is a fire. One adult keeps a phone charger in the car. Those fragments are useful, but they are not yet a plan.
A plan exists when the correct people know what to do, where to go, how to communicate, what to take, and when to change course. A plan is even better when it is written down, available without an internet connection, and practiced often enough that no one has to invent it under pressure.
