- Write up a family plan together
- Choose a Family Reunification Site
- Talk about issues with entire family
- Practice the plan (make it fun but real, and try it at night with the electricity off)
- Identify safe places in each room:
- under sturdy furniture (desk, table)
- against inside wall
- away from glass or heavy bookcases/furniture
Family Reunification Site
- Decide on a safe area (refuge) where family will reunify after earthquake
- Have plans for each family member to reach refuge
- Refuge site should be near your home, in the open, away from hazards
(buildings, trees, telephone and electrical lines, overpasses)
- Have a telephone contact out of the area (preferably someone out of state who can relay messages)
