You and your family should conduct emergency drills at least one or twice a month. Each family member must learn how to evacuate, and if you live in an apartment building or housing project, the evacuation becomes a little more complicated and urgent, you cannot afford to wait until the last minute to evacuate. If you live in an apartment building or housing project, you need to purchase rope ladder (s), or long ladder if this is possible from an economic stand point, if not you and your neighbors should pool your money together and purchase these items that serve all that are impacted. The rope-ladders must be strategically located. 

​

Note: To ensure success, we insist that you seek training from an expert on how to install and use the rope ladders/and long-ladders. 

​

Oftentimes during certain emergency evacuations family members are separated, so it becomes critical that each family member is provided a designated location to meet or call, from a relative house to your local Mosque/Church, or even an emergency relief center. Each family should also develop their own identification ID card; this ID card will have the basic info, such as name, multiple contact numbers, and if applicable medical information. This would help emergency relief workers to help reunite family members and/or identify dead bodies.
