Family Emergency Planning

Where will you go if you need to evacuate with a moment's notice? How will you contact your family members? Where will you meet them? Find out how to put together a family emergency plan and get the tools you need to pull together your important documents.
​On this page, you'll learn about how to put together a family emergency plan. We'll include worksheets to help you get through this process.  Check out this 5 minute video from FEMA that explains key steps to emergency preparedness, including: being informed, making a plan, building a kit, and getting involved. Then, scroll down to check out our Evacuation Planning workshop videos to guide you though the process.

Evacuation Planning Workshop 

 During this workshop, lead by Barbara Bracken of Tualatin Neighborhood Ready!, you'll have an opportunity to start filling out your family emergency plan. Print this worksheet before you start the video so you can get the most out of this workshop. Take this step to make sure every family member knows what to do when the worst happens.  Then, watch this two part workshop to help you fill out the Family Emergency Plan. In the first part, we talk about the 3 evacuation levels--Ready, Set and Go--and what you need to plan for at each stage. Pause the video at any point to jot down your plans in the worksheet. In Part 2, Barbara talks about assembling an emergency documents checklist; page 2 of the worksheet corresponds to this part of the workshop.
