10 STEPS FOR EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

 

  1. Sign up for the Sheriff’s emergency notification system alertYavapai.  Register at YCSOaz.gov.  
  2. Know your zone. Most jurisdictions have adopted evacuation zones, using pre-determined areas for the delivery of vital information. Go to protect.Genasys.com.
  3. Create a family communication plan. If you are away from home when that GO order is issued, where will your family meet?
  4. Create a list of items to collect as you evacuate: People/Pets, Prescriptions, Personal Items, Papers, and Priceless items.
  5. Prepare a GO kit for humans & animals and keep it updated. A list of suggested items for humans can be found at https://www.yavapaiready.gov/Resilience/Prepare/Get-Ready/Make-a-Kit.  For household pets go to AnimalDisasterServices.com. The LASER website has a list for your barn animals at www.laser-shelter.org.
  6. Create defensible space around your home. Check out the Yavapai Firewise website. https://yavapaifirewise.org.
  7. Have a neighborhood evacuation plan and get to know your neighbors. If you are out of town when disaster strikes, can your neighbors get your animals out?
  8. Teach your animals to load quickly – even under stressful situations
  9. Find various ways out of your neighborhood. If the route you usually take is blocked, how will you get out?
  10. .Stay informed. A designated Public Information Officer will broadcast vital information. Social media can be full of misinformation and AI-generated images; make sure you are following reputable and reliable sources of information.
