Here’s another double dose, but this time it’s E. While this is similar to the Disaster information under D, it includes tangible tools and external sources you can find anywhere, like the Red Cross, if your county does not have these resources.
Emergency Kit Checklist
The essentials for what you need to have ready on standby when a disaster strikes. Includes a checklist of basic items as well as more detailed and advanced things you might want to add if you have the means/desire.
Shelter in Place Guideline
A simple guide from the American Red Cross explaining what to do if authorities tell you to “shelter in place.” It describes when shelter-in-place might be needed (like a chemical spill or hazardous materials emergency) and outlines practical steps such as, go inside immediately, close and lock doors and windows, turn off HVAC/vents, pick a safe interior room (ideally one with a toilet/phone and few windows), seal it if needed, bring pets and supplies and wait for an official “all clear.”
Happy serving,
