Be Prepared / Stay Safe
The Cayman Islands Red Cross provides information on how to prepare for and stay safe during and after a hurricane.
FOUR STEPS TO SAFETY
Create a Disaster Plan
• Meet with your family and discuss why you need to prepare for disaster. Plan to share responsibilities and work together as a team.
• Discuss the types of disasters that are most likely to happen. Explain what to do in each case.
• Pick two places to meet: (Right outside your home in case of a sudden emergency, like a fire, or outside your neighborhood in case you can't return home.) Everyone must know the address and phone number.
• Ask an out-of-town friend to be your "family contact." After a disaster, it's often easier to call long distance. Other family members should call this person and tell them where they are. Everyone must know your contact's phone number.
• Discuss what to do in an evacuation. Plan how to take care of your pets.
