EMERGENCY TIPS
Queens residents face
many forms of disasters.
Whether they be an earthquake,
a hurricane, a blizzard
or a tornado, it is important
to be ready when they strike.
To avoid injury — or worse
— there are simple steps families
can take to prepare for the
worst.
Here are some tips offered
by the U.S. Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention:
1) PREPARE A KIT.
Put together a collection
of critical basics, such as water,
nonperishable and easyto
prepare food, flashlights,
batteries, a battery-powered
or hand-crank radio, a first
aid kit, medications, a multipurpose
tool, sanitary and
hygiene items, copies of personal
documents, cell phones
with chargers, emergency
contact information and
cash.
2) MAKE A PLAN.
Develop a family disaster
plan and practice it. Contact
your local American
Red Cross chapter and find
out what disasters are most
likely to happen and how to
prepare for them. Ask about
animal care and how to care
for the elderly or disabled. Develop
an evacuation plan and
pick two places to meet, one
outside your home and one
outside your neighborhood in
case you cannot return home.
Practice this plan with your
family.
3) STAY INFORMED.
Learn how to “shelter
in place” in your home, vehicle
or place of work or inbetween,
in case chemical or
radiological contaminants
are released. Choose a large
room with a water supply
that can be sealed off at home.
Develop a sheltering plan at
work and put together a kit.
Learn CPR, first aid and how
to use an automated external
defibrillator.
More detailed information
on how best to prepare
for an emergency can be

preparedness/shelter.
