Emergency Preparation

This video outlines the information, resources, and relationships that can support a faster and more coordinated emergency response. Explore how current photos, emergency contacts, nearby water awareness, responder planning, and shared readiness strengthen prevention.

What to Prepare

  • Emergency contacts and updated identifying information
  • Current photos that are easy to access
  • Knowledge of nearby water locations
  • CPR and rescue preparedness where possible
  • Shared family and responder awareness

Why Preparation Matters

Preparation reduces confusion and helps people act quickly. It supports better coordination in high-stress moments and helps ensure that important information is easy to access when time matters most.

Community Readiness

Families may also benefit from coordinating with trusted neighbors, extended caregivers, schools, or first responders depending on the individual’s level of risk and the environment.
Emergency readiness is part of prevention, not separate from it.
