With little notice we can be
displaced or isolated because of fire, flood,
tornado, hurricane, chemical spill, earthquake, avalanche,
tsunamis or act of terrorism. Reconstructing your life after
a disaster can be an exhausting, expensive and a lengthy task.
Your disaster resistance to these events can be increased
through preparation by providing important personal information
in your go-bag. Access to this information immediately after an emergency will greatly assist
the reconstruction of your life as it was previously.
Instructions:
Download individual forms or the
combo pack (all forms) and
save each form with a name specific to you or your family.
Each family member may want their own form. Every form
includes a 'save as' button and a 'print'
button. You may require additional pages for some categories
so each form includes 'page___ of ___' for easy organization. Then
save and print each form and place in a soft cover binder or
pouch for inclusion in your go-bag.
As information changes over time, update individual
forms, save and print the update and replace outdated sheets in your
go-bag. Take steps to keep this electronic and
printed information safe and secure.

Alternate Key Holder Form |
Provide a readily
available house key via an alternate key holder,
registered with the 9-1-1 center, to provide
quick and non intrusive entrance into your home.
When you call 9-1-1 for service, often the
Fire/EMS or the Police will have a need to enter
you home quickly. When you are not able to
unlock your entry door or not at home (such as a
fire alarm), what will they do? They look for an
unlocked door, an open window or another non
intrusive entry point. When time is critical
they may proceed with a trained procedure called "forced entry." |
