Be Ready: Emergency & Evacuation Tips: A Reference Guide for Homeowners to Prepare for Emergencies and Safe Evacuations (Rallyback Pocket Books)

Our series of RallyBack Pocket Books offers on-the-go guidance, terms, and examples for homeowners preparing for an emergency, recovering from a major incident, or rebuilding after a loss. Each book focuses on one part of the journey and draws from Loti's larger RallyBack library, covering everything from evacuation plans and insurance claims to temporary housing, construction, and the belongings that make a house a home. Along the way, we also look at caring for your property and reducing the impact of future incidents.

This particular RallyBack Pocket Book, Be Ready, helps you think through the details of an emergency before you need to act. We'll walk through evacuation routes, alert services, emergency contacts, and planning for children, then take a closer look at the supplies that belong in an emergency kit. Water, food, first aid, medications, personal items, and important documents each get their turn.

From there, we cover preparing your property, utility considerations, documenting your home, deciding where to go, and making arrangements for pets. We also look at the first steps after you've reached safety. Whether you're preparing for hurricane season, living in wildfire country, or getting your household organized for the unexpected, this book gives you checklists, examples, and a place to start.

Keep it nearby as you build a plan that fits your family, your home, and the risks in your area.
