No one really likes to think about this kind of stuff, but ask yourself this:
How will you contact your family members in case of an emergency?
During the day, you might be at work, your spouse might be at work, your kids at school, etc. If you can't use your cell phone or if it is dead, do you know the numbers for your spouse's work or your kid's school?
FEMA suggests that you made a contact card for each family member which includes home, work, cell phone numbers as well as doctor's information and emergency contact numbers. Adults can store these cards in their wallets or purses. (Sometimes we take for granted that we have everyone's numbers in our cell phones, but if your phone battery dies and you can't charge it, you will want this contact information.) You can place cards in your school-aged child's backpack.
