Make a Family Communication Plan

The urges town residents to start planning now for a possible hit from Hurricane Irene.

Develop a family emergency communications plan in case family members are separated from one another during an emergency (a real possibility during the day when adults are at work and children are at school, camp or at a friend’s house). 

This plan should also address reunification after the immediate crisis passes. Make sure everyone knows the name, address and telephone number of the Family Emergency Communications Plan contact person. 

A Family Emergency Communications Plan can help reassure everyone’s safety and minimize the stress associated with emergencies.
