A
When a disaster happens, you might find yourself without water, gas or electricity. You might also need to leave your home right away. So you are supposed to plan for such bad situations. Here are some suggestions.
●Have a family meeting. Plan a way to get your family members together after the disaster. Choose two places for everyone to go to if it isn’t safe to return home. The first meeting place should be near your house. You can go there in an emergency like a fire. The second should be outside your neighborhood.
●Choose a person outside your area to help. It is easier to communicate over a long-distance call than a local one. The person can help your family members get in touch with each other.
●Get a family disaster kit（应急包）ready. It should include the things your family needs. It can help you survive at least for three days with bread, water, medicine and things like that. Put them in a bag so that you can carry it if you leave in a hurry. Do remember that different people have different needs.
●Practise your emergency plan. Update it as often as possible. You may not be able to stop any disasters, but with a little planning you can help yourself and your family survive.
