Paragraph- Many people have never thought about what they would do when faced with a home emergency, such
as a tornado, a hurricane, or a fire. People get
scared and don't act right. Being prepared in case
of emergencies can reduce the risk of danger and prevent panic should emergencies occur.

Each home should have an emergency chest that
all family members can locate in the time of need.
A list of contents is helpful, and periodic checks
and updates are recommended. Suggestions for things to include in the chest:
Emergency telephone numbers (such as
911, police, fire, doctors, poison control, relatives, and neighbors) Information relating to the health
needs and medications of family members
A first-aid kit
A battery operated radio
A fire extinguisher
A hot water bottle
An ice pack
