ARE YOU PREPARED?
All hospitals have comprehensive emergency management plans, and practice them regularly through exercises and drills. It’s important that families and individuals have emergency plans, also.
MERET (Minnesota Emergency Readiness Education and Training) has developed a comprehensive toolkit for personal preparedness planning at http://www.nursing.umn.edu/meret/.
You can also visit www.ready.gov for planning tools for individuals and families, as well as checklists for businesses, schools and not-for-profit organizations.
