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

Welcome to the first book in our series of Rallyback Pocket Books! These pages are a small window into a much larger library of Rallybacks available on our website at www.loti.com. There, we cover a range of topics, including emergency planning, construction, understanding your insurance, personal property inventory, maintenance, smart home technology, finances, hardening your home and more.

This book specifically focuses on helping homeowners prepare themselves, their family and their property for incidents that may impact them in the future and giving guidance when an event actually occurs. Whether you’re preparing for hurricane season in the south or hoping the wildfires in the west avoid your home, this guide offers practical checklists, ideas and actionable help to keep your family safe and your property as protected as possible.

First we will cover general emergency planning by thinking through multiple evacuation routes, what types of alert services may be available, how to assemble a list of emergency contacts and perhaps most importantly, how to involve children in the process. We will then dive into building an emergency kit by offering suggestions around food, water, medical supplies, tools, personal items and important documents to include. Finally, we will offer some tips and advice around evacuation and how - if you have time - to protect your home, shut off utilities, document your home, manage pets and what to expect once you’re safe.

In total, this book gives a homeowner a detailed overview of emergency planning and evacuation tips while also tying into a massive online learning hub to answer more detailed questions that may pop up. These are the very first steps to help any homeowner stay safe while moving along the path to recovery.
