Tiny Courses to Prepare Your Family

This free course describes the two strategies necessary to protect your family. You will learn: What are the potential risks or threats of losing your home, your possessions, your personal identities, your identification papers, and worst of all, a family member? What resources does a family need to protect themselves? How can your family build or even purchase the resources for these preparedness strategies?

The essential Shelter in Place Tiny Course is one of two primary safety strategies that a family should implement to cover most disasters. Most of the items recommended to shelter in place are most likely already in your home or domicile, so it is easy to implement this strategy. Just follow our recommendations!

The Evacuation Plan Tiny Course supplements the other primary preparedness strategy - the Shelter in Place strategy. You will learn why you might need to evacuate, how to plan the evacuation, where to go, and how to test your evacuation plan.

The Basic Communication Plan Tiny Course provides recommendations for a family to communicate during a disaster, particularly when family members may not be in the same location at the same time.

The Asset Protection Plan Tiny Course provides a family with recommendations on how to protect their assets - identity assets, ownership assets, membership assets and the services a family uses to maintain their lifestyle. Learn how to document these assets and where to go and who to contact for professional advice on protecting and safeguarding these assets.

This supplementary tiny course is an excellent addition to your two primary preparedness strategies. The course describes how to set up resources in your vehicle in case you and/or your family have to shelter in place in your vehicle for a limited amount of time or evacuate your home with your 'go bag' PLUS additional resources in your emergency car kit.
