If an emergency happened today, would your family know where to meet?

It's not the most exciting conversation, but it could be one of the most important. 🗓️National Preparedness Month is the perfect time to pick a date and schedule a family meeting. Take 30 minutes to talk through and write down:
• A central meeting location in case your family is separated
• A list of essential items each person would need in an emergency kit

Having a plan in place can reduce confusion and help everyone feel more prepared when the unexpected happens. It doesn't cost a thing to sit down with your loved ones and make a plan. Start today!
