Jennifer's Emergency Management Plan
If there were to be a Tornado here in Evanston my family and I would have a greater chance of surviving and in general be safer because of this plan. In advance we will have a first aid kit ready to go and in place in our house. This kit will have band aids, flash light, water, canned food, batteries, etc. Even a whistle will be included in this. Some may think it wouldn't do much but in this case service towers and overall power will be out which means there is really no way of communicating. This whistle will help call out for help since it will draw attention and eventually first responders can come to us. If we are at home we would go down to the basement and remain there until it is safe to go out. If we are somewhere else and not together, we would find the nearest hallway or stairwell and avoid windows. Once it is safe we can attempt to contact each other and if possible go home.
I believe this plan would be successful enough to keep us safe. Preparing in advance for a situation like this benefits my family and other people. This plan being created in advance can help my family and I remain calm which can help the situation. While others being chaotic and panicking my family and I would be much more controlled and calm. We can eventually help de-escalate the situation and possibly help others. In addition, when people remain calm they can act quicker and more efficiently. In addition to being calm, we now have knowledge of where the safest spots are so we will be prepared for this situation.
