5. Use a child's plastic pocket organizer that fits over back seat of your car or a door to prepare children's items to take with you in a moment's notice. Things like a flashlight, tissues, map, and an umbrella can be stored in that kind of container to grab on run as well. 6. Put your most important photographs and documents into protective photo storage boxes. This helps preserve them and makes them easy to take with you. Select photos most meaningful to you and keep box current. 7. Color-code emergency containers you use for family members. That makes it easier to grab and identify valuables in an evacuation situation. 8. Carry a small family pet to safety in a large cloth tote bag with shoulder straps. A frightened pet can be more swiftly rescued by placing it into that type of bag, and be comforted by being close to your body. 9. Examine exit routes from various parts of your home and from room to room within your home. Look at what is stored at or near each thoroughfare within house. 10. Relocate things to safer places than in doorways and walkways. Put magazines into magazine holders on shelves. Place large items into storage boxes in less accessible places. Find other homes for children's toys. Use doors to safely hang things that might be strewn on floor.Spend a few minutes each week to review your emergency preparedness. Decide what items you want to purchase. Shop for them little by little or all at once.
