Evacuation planning

• What you will each do in the event of disasters such as an earthquake, tsunami, volcanic eruption, flood or typhoon.

• How and where you will meet up during and after a disaster

• Where to store emergency survival items and who will be responsible for maintaining supplies.

• What you will each need to have in your getaway kits and where to keep them.

• What you need to do for members of the household, family or community with a disability or special requirement.

• What you will need to do for your pets, domestic animals or livestock.

• How and when to turn off the water, electricity and gas at the main switches in your home or business.

• Turn off gas only if you suspect a leak, or if you are instructed to do so by authorities. If you turn the gas off you will need a professional to turn it back on and it may take them weeks to respond after an event.

• What local radio stations to tune in to for civil defence information during an event.
