Every time you move, learn the types of emergencies that can happen in the area. Update your emergency kit and add new supplies, if needed.
Know that mass warning systems may not be the same everywhere. It could be a “Giant Voice” outside speaker, siren, telephone alert, or some other system or process.
You may not have family nearby, so think carefully about a good meetup point or call-in contact after an emergency. Create and emergency plan with someone out-of-town you can all reach. Remember that one or more family members may be deployed when disaster strikes.
If you live off base, threat levels or other conditions may keep you from getting back on base for day-to-day activities after an emergency. Know other places to shop or things you normally get on base.
Gathering and recording important personal and financial documents is already a part of getting ready to deploy. Be sure to include these documents in your family’s emergency kit.
