EVACUATION CHECKLIST

There is no shortage of natural disasters for which we must be prepared. In the event you need to evacuate or find yourself in the middle of an emergency, use this checklist as a guide of key documents, information, and supplies to collect as you prepare to evacuate.

It’s helpful to have hard copies of certain documents digitalized, either on a flash drive or on the cloud. Having a bag of emergency supplies stored in your car or home is another way to be prepared for any emergency evacuations.
