In the face of a crisis, from a natural disaster to a sudden evacuation order, preparedness is your family's most powerful asset. A well-made plan can reduce anxiety, ensure you have critical supplies and documents, and allow you to navigate unexpected challenges with confidence. To support our Sailors and their families, we have assembled a collection of essential guides to help you prepare for, and respond to, any emergency. These documents provide step-by-step instructions and checklists to help you and your family prepare for the unexpected. We strongly encourage every family to download, review, and use these guides to build a comprehensive emergency plan.
