BE PREPARED!!! WEATHER IS OFTEN UNPREDICTABLE
Living with unpredictable weather isn't a unique aspect of living in Northern New York, but this may be the first time you and your
Family needs to prepare for the loss of power, flooding or storms accompanied by colder temperatures. It cannot be stressed
enough how important it is to BE ACTIVELY PREPARED for whatever mother nature may throw in our direction.
First and foremost keep your eyes and ears open! BE INFORMED! Listen to news reports, keep an eye on our Facebook page
www.facebook.com/drum.10thmountain, check your email often and keep in contact with your chain of command when bad weather
is in the forecast. These will be the main media venues used to push out information that will be important to you should there be a
need to evacuate, shelter in place or be reminded about important safety measures like avoiding downed power lines. When the
power goes out is too late to be looking for information!
BUILD A KIT:
When disaster strikes, emergency responders address the most critical needs and may not be able to get to an area until it is deemed
safe. While they work on behalf of the entire community, consider it YOUR responsibility to ensure your Family's well-being during
times of crisis. Emergency kits are essential tools for meeting that challenge.
To prepare your Family for an emergency, establish emergency kits that include enough supplies to meet your essential needs for at
least three days. Not sure what you should have in that kit? Follow this link for a comprehensive list of suggestions: http://
www.acsim.army.mil/readyarmy/ra_get_a_kit.htm
MAKE A PLAN:
Gather input from all members of your Family to consider all possibilities and make them more likely to remember important steps
when an emergency happens. Choose a contact person, a Family member or friend living somewhere else whom you can all contact
in the case of an event. Plan for all hazards that could affect your Family, considering potential hazards and weather patterns in
your region. Think through each possible emergency situation, and determine how your Family should respond. Think about all the
places you and your Family may be throughout the day, such as home, office, school and in transit. Establish meeting places and
discuss situations to use them. By establishing and practicing a Family emergency plan, you and your Family are more likely to find
each other quickly and help one another get through the emergency situation safely and with less worry. For more information on
Family Planning for a Disaster go to the site: http://www.acsim.army.mil/readyarmy/ra_make_a_plan.htm
Every Soldier, Family member and Civilian can benefit from thinking about emergency preparedness early and often!
