Emergency preparedness checklist

It's essential to be prepared for a variety of emergencies to ensure the safety and well-being of yourself and your loved ones. Some emergencies you should be prepared for include:

  • Natural disasters
  • Medical emergencies
  • Power outages
  • Home fires
  • Public health emergencies

 

Every minute matters during an emergency. Being prepared for these emergencies involves creating a comprehensive emergency plan, stocking up on essential supplies, staying informed about potential risks in your area, and regularly reviewing and updating your preparedness efforts. Think ahead by making sure you are able to check off these 10 important items, and find your nearest Baylor St. Luke’s Emergency Center or St. Luke’s Health emergency department so you know where to go when minutes matter.
