Accountability - Who do you call? Objectives Notification System Accountability - Who do you call? What is the difference between a sheltering and an evacuation events? Preparation Checklist Where is the safe havens located? When do we have to leave? Special Needs/Medical Needs Travel Entitlements Evacuation Plan Local government officials, not the Red Cross, issue evacuation orders when disaster threatens. Listen to local radio and television reports when disaster threatens. If local officials ask you to leave, do so immediately; they have a good reason for making this request. Coordinate your evacuation plan in advance when creating your family's disaster plan. Ensure that you've tested the evacuation routes and that you have planned several in the instance of closed roads and routes. Safe Haven Notify NDPO of plans EIT HEAT Remember these simples tips: Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants and sturdy shoes so you can be protected as much as possible. Take your disaster supplies kit. Take your pets with you; do not leave them behind. Because pets are not permitted in public shelters, follow your plan to go to a relative's or friend's home, or find a "pet-friendly" hotel. Lock your home. Use travel routes specified by local authorities — don't use shortcuts because certain areas may be impassable or dangerous. Stay away from downed power lines. If you have only moments before leaving, grab these things and go! Medical supplies: prescription medications and dentures. Disaster supplies: flashlight, batteries, radio, first aid kit, bottled water Clothing and bedding: a change of clothes and a sleeping bag or bedroll and pillow for each household member Car keys and keys to the place you may be going (friend's or relative's home) If local officials haven't advised an immediate evacuation If there's a chance the weather may get worse or flooding may happen, take steps now to protect your home and belongings. Do this only if local officials have not asked you to leave.

What history has taught us…. Lessons learned over 2008 Tropical Storm Fay and Hurricane Ike 15 minutes

Notification Sector Key West uses a phone message service which delivers automated phone calls, within minutes, to any group, large or small. Our CO feels that if there is any information families need to be aware of he will use this messaging service. In the event we need to evacuate or shelter for a storm.

Individual Awareness Stay up-to-date on storm activities by watching local weather, the Weather Channel or track storms on the internet at www.nhc.noaa.gov. Thank you and have a great Coast Guard day.

Sheltering Event Occurs when: Hurricane categories 1 or 2 are likely When directed by the Navy CO If you live on any of the Navy installations, the Navy must provide the housing residence with alternate lodging accommodations.

Shelter Event Depending on storm direction and high tide, Sigsbee housing will be the first concern of the Navy CO and may require residence to evacuate. Why??

Shelter Preparedness Complete a preparation checklist (enclosure 2 of the family memo) Practice/discuss plan with the family members Create a disaster kit – PLAN EARLY Create a disaster plan Meet with your family and discuss why you need to prepare for disaster. Explain the dangers of fire, severe weather and earthquakes to children. Plan to share responsibilities and work together as a team. Decide whether or not to evacuate. Are you in a mandatory evacuation zone? Is there time to evacuate? Where will you go? If the member will deploy or is deployed, determine ahead of time where the dependents will evacuate to and notify the your NDPO or Unit POC of that location. If you or your dependents are not going to evacuate, notify the unit NDPO or unit POC that you will be staying at home; provide your home address, telephone# and/or cell phone. Ask an out-of-state friend or family member to be your “family contact.” After a disaster, it’s often easier to call long distance or you may only be able to make one phone call. Other family members should call this person and tell them where they are. Everyone must know who your contact is and your contact’s phone number. Discuss what to do in an evacuation. Plan how to take care of your pets. Write down all of these contact numbers and information on the family emergency contact card. Complete this checklist Post emergency telephone numbers by phones (fire, police, ambulance, etc.). Teach children how and when to call 911 or your local Emergency Medical Services number for emergency help. Show each family member how and when to turn off the water, gas and electricity at the main switches. Check if you have adequate insurance coverage. Teach each family member how to use the fire extinguisher (ABC type), and show them where it’s kept. Install smoke detectors on each level of your home, especially near bedrooms. Conduct a home hazard hunt. Both before and after a storm. Stock emergency supplies and assemble a Disaster Supplies Kit. Take a Red Cross first aid and CPR class. Determine the best escape routes from your home. Find two ways out of each room. Find the safe spots in your home for each type of disaster. Practice your plan Test your smoke detectors monthly and change the batteries at least once a year. Quiz your kids every six months so they remember what to do. Conduct fire and emergency evacuation drills. Replace stored water every three months and stored food every six months. Test and recharge your fire extinguisher(s) according to manufacturer’s instructions.

Evacuation Preparations Government Travel Charge Card Dependents – Debit card 0900-1200 Medications – 2 week supply Vehicle is operating properly Gas Cash (small bills) Inventory Property Insurance Store papers in safe place

Important Papers Driver's license or personal identification Social Security card Proof of residence (deed or lease) Insurance policies Birth and marriage certificates DD 214 Stocks, bonds, and other negotiable certificates Wills, deeds, and copies of recent taxes Immunization records Special Power of Attorney Personal property inventory Serial numbers, Dates purchased, Receipts, Videos, Pictures Important papers to take with you Driver's license or personal identification Social Security card Proof of residence (deed or lease) Insurance policies Birth and marriage certificates Stocks, bonds, and other negotiable certificates Wills, deeds, and copies of recent tax returns Conduct a household inventory Inventory your household possessions by making a list of everything you own. If disaster strikes, this list could: Help you prove the value of what you owned if those possessions are damaged or destroyed. Make it more likely you'll receive a fast, fair payment from your insurance company for your losses. Provide documentation for tax deductions you claim for your losses. To conduct a thorough home inventory: Record the location of the originals of all important financial and family documents, such as birth and marriage certificates, wills, deeds, tax returns, insurance policies, and stock and bond certificates. Keep the originals in a safe place and store copies elsewhere. You'll need accessible records for tax and insurance purposes. Make a visual or written record of your possessions. If you don't own a camera or videotaping equipment (and can't borrow or rent it), buy an inventory booklet and fill it out, or make a simple list on notebook paper. Ask your insurance agent if he or she can provide one. Go from room to room. Describe each item, when you bought it, and how much it cost. If you're photographing or videotaping, have someone open closet doors and hold up items. Record model and serial numbers. Include less expensive items, such as bath towels and clothes. Their costs add up if you have to replace them. Be sure you include items in your attic, basement, and garage. Note the quality of building materials, particularly for such furnishings as oak doors or expensive plumbing fixtures. Photograph the exterior of your home. Include the landscaping--that big tree in the front yard may not be insurable, but it does increase the value of your property for tax purposes. Make special note of any improvements, such as a patio, fencing, or outbuildings. Photograph cars, boats, and recreational vehicles. Make copies of receipts and canceled checks for more valuable items. Get professional appraisals of jewelry, collectibles, artwork, or other items that are difficult to value. Update the appraisals every two to three years. Update your inventory list annually. Sound like too much work? Computer software programs designed for such purposes can make the task much easier. These programs are readily available in local computer stores. Most important, once you have completed your inventory, leave a copy with relatives or friends, or in a safe deposit box. Don't leave your only copy at home, where it might be destroyed.
