How do you protect you and your family from these common February disasters? Most of these February disasters require that you should have a shelter in place plan. It is the easiest, lowest-cost, and simplest plan to implement. The second option is to have an evacuation plan in place, but due to the frequency of common (shelter-in-place) February disasters, implementing this evacuation plan can wait until a future month (if you wish). We encourage you to check out the valuable information on our website to learn how to create these two plans. We also have tiny courses that you can complete in 15-20 minutes to show you how to create these plans in detail, step-by-step. As our website says, “Stay safe – be prepared!” Lives are at stake!
