Reunion and the trip out

Use the same names and the same four meeting places as the fridge card. Send a text before a voice call. If this house has no car, the leave-plan is still a line on this page. Do not write account numbers.

The trip out

No-car plan, or the ride

Half-tank habit

One car for this family

Destination, one way

Destination, another way

Keep a car at least half full. If an evacuation seems likely, fill the tank. Take one car per family. Shut off water, gas, or electricity only if officials instruct you to. Ready.gov publishes a free family communication card in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese. Use that card in the language this house needs: Ready.gov communication-plan cards.

Copy, do not remember

Poison control

Copy the poison-control number from the current FEMA card when you fill this sheet. This page does not print one. Leave insurance, bank, and policy numbers off this sheet.

Fiction. Not your house.

The apartment sample uses the same four meeting-place names as the fridge card and does not invent an address, a phone number, or a poison-control digit. One adult is often at work, so the work-pickup line is the one this household would fill. The infant is at home, so the school line stays blank in the sample.
