[QUOTE="Old Fart, post: 2364452, member: 4899"] Saw this over on Gray Wolf survival site. There are a lot of agencies out there that suggest that you make a sound Emergency Communication plan for your family in case disaster strikes but unbelievably, a lot of them dont tell you how to actually do this, and the ones that do are woefully inadequate. Ready.gov at least gives some information by suggesting that you use the acronym COMMUNICATE: [B]C[/B]reate a family communication plan so you can get in touch with family members. Give copies of contact information and meeting locations to everyone in your family [B]O[/B]ptions are available: telephones, cell phones and e-mail are all great ways to get in touch with family members. [B]M[/B]ake sure you know the emergency plan at your childs school. [B]M[/B]ake a decision about where you will meet in case you cant get home during an emergency. [B]U[/B]nderstand that it may take time to get through to everyone. Try to be patient. [B]N[/B]eeds of your pets should be kept in mind. Keep a pet carrier for easy transport. [B]I[/B]nform yourself. Watch news broadcasts, read online news updates or listen to a battery-operated radio for official guidance during an emergency, but also prepare in advance. [B]C[/B]opies of your emergency plan should be in your emergency supply kit in case you need to leave in a hurry. [B]A[/B]sk kids to discuss their concerns and feelings. Do they understand the family plan? [B]T[/B]ake the kids to visit the meeting spots so that they are familiar and feel comfortable finding them on their own if necessary. [B]E[/B]mergencies take many forms. Categorize different types of emergencies and discuss the level of concern related to each and how that is reflected in your family plan. Thats better than most but its still pretty dumb. You can tell they tried to come up with tenuous connections to each letter to make the acronym fit. Its better than nothing, but it still doesnt tell you effective ways of how you can communicate with your family during and after an emergency; it just tells you a few things to consider. Lets see if we can do better, my Lovelies. [/QUOTE]
