Why This Course
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:
- Plan for a disaster that finds your family scattered across a normal weekday, and default to text first.
- Designate a Tier 1 and Tier 2 meeting point and an out-of-area contact, described precisely enough for anyone to find.
- Treat any hazard you cannot confirm as passable from a safe distance as impassable, and plan around known trouble spots.
- Set a wait-time threshold, a designated searcher, and a fallback for a family member who does not arrive.
- Plan a genuine alternate route, a hard turnaround rule, and bail-out points, and assemble it all into one written plan.
