Are you ready for a natural disaster?
Man or woman, rich or poor: no one is safe in a natural disaster. Flooding, hurricanes, microbursts, earthquakes, or other catastro- phes can happen at any time. Are you and your family prepared to deal with one? You must be prepared in advance to be able to cope during an extreme weather event. Start preparing by finding out what type of natural disasters are more likely to happen in your area. At home, establish an action plan for each scenario. Emergency measures in case of flooding: • switch off the electricity and natural gas supply • move valuable objects to a higher floor Microbursts (localized violent winds): • stay well away from windows and doors • gather the family in the basement, a closet, or under a staircase Earthquake: • remain inside the house • shelter under a table, or desk, and hold on to it until everything stops shaking
Everyone in your home should be aware of the steps to take, no matter what the disas- ter. Decide on a meeting place where you can gather if you’ve been separated. Post safety measures where they are visible and revise them together on a regular basis. Keep ready an emergency kit (first-aid sup- plies, can opener, candles, matches, hygiene articles, and important documents), a sup- ply of drinking water, and enough food to be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours. Did you know that all-risk home insurance policies cover damages caused by most natural disasters? Take the time to check your coverage with your insurer. Climate change is wreaking havoc around the plan- et; don’t you want to be prepared?
