If you had five minutes...would you be ready to go?

clipped from survivetheworst.blogspot.com If an airplane crash, hurricane, earthquake, terrorist attack or medical emergency struck right now, would you be ready? Where is your spouse, your children, the other people you love? What if they were injured? Would a doctor know what to do to save their lives, with their specific healthcare needs in mind? Would the hospital know to call you? What about your vital documents? Could you find your bank account number, your homeowner's policy and your birth certificate, if you suddenly had five minutes to evacuate? When it comes to you and your family, it's up to you to fill in that missing piece BEFORE an emergency strikes. You need to: Figure out what you need Find all of that information or those documents Fill in or create emergency contact forms Format and secure your vital documents Formulate your family's emergency plan Fast track your family's emergency treatment And make sure that if you ever have only five minutes, you can grab what you need and go.
