Household Emergency Plan

Current location in the site

There are many types of disasters that could damage roads and disrupt your ability to travel. Get your family or household together and agree on a plan. In your plan, you will need to work out:

  • Where to shelter in an earthquake, flood or storm
  • How and where you will meet up during and after a disaster
  • The best place to store Emergency Survival Items. Make sure everyone knows where these items are, and who is responsible for checking essential items.
  • Where each person's Getaway Kit will be so they can take it with them
  • How to turn off the water, gas and electricity in your home or business
  • How to contact your local civil defence organisation for assistance during an emergency
