Ideas and instructions on preparing a Family and Station Disaster plan. NOTE: this file may be printed for your use.

The American Red Cross Family Disaster Plan and Disaster Supplies Kit assume that in the event of a disaster it will be three day before Disaster Shelters will be open. If your plans do not include going to to a shelter then you should prepare a larger and more comprehensive kit.
