What happens if a disaster threatens your home while you are away on vacation? I consider myself the queen of evacuation preparedness but this talent won't do me any good if I am not home to use it. Before going out of town for a vacation you need to have a contingency evacuation plan in place. I understand that you are very busy with last minute packing and errands related to your trip so here are five steps to quickly complete your contingency plan.
1. Identify a friend or relative who would be willing to evacuate a few items for you should you be out of town during an evacuation.
2. Select only the most important items to be taken.
3. Consolidate and pack the items for transport.
4. Leave a written list of the items you are requesting to be evacuated and their location posted in your home.
5. Be sure to exchange all important contact information with the person responsible for the contingency plan.
Now go ahead and have a wonderful vacation! When it is time to come home don't forget to bring your "evacuation back up buddy" a nice souvenir.
