A Prepared Home knows what types of disasters they may face, has an assembled emergency kit that is regularly replenished and has a plan that every member of the household knows and has been drilled on once a year.

One step towards preparation is organization. Having a place for everything and everything in its place is helpful when it comes time to evacuate or shelter in place, assess damage and make insurance claims.

Decluttering your home of unnecessary papers and unwanted items will also make it easier to evacuate when called upon to do so. Getting rid of clutter also removes fuel for fires making it easier for firefighters to defend your home and rescue you or your loved ones.
