1. Create an individual or family plan using the guidance provided in FEMA's Are You Ready publication ( https://www.fema.gov/areyouready/ ). Did you find any shortfalls in this program? What did you learn by using the publication?
2. Contact your local office of emergency management and find out if there is an evacuation plan for your local community. What must occur for an evacuation to be ordered? Who has the authority to issue that order?
