“The First 6 Hours of a Disaster: What You Must Do”

Описание: The first six hours after a major emergency are critical. What you do — or fail to do — during this window can determine your safety and stability in the days that follow.

This isn’t about panic. It’s about having a clear, structured plan.

In this step-by-step breakdown, we walk through exactly what to do hour by hour:

🕐 Hour 1: Awareness & Immediate Safety

• Gather reliable information using emergency alerts and battery-powered radio
• Assess immediate threats (fire, flooding, gas leaks, injuries)
• Apply the “Check, Call, Care” principle

🏠 Hours 2–3: Secure Your Shelter

• Lock down your home and maintain a low profile
• Fill bathtubs and containers while water is still running
• Prepare your 72-hour Go-Bag in case evacuation becomes necessary
• Contact your out-of-state emergency contact

📦 Hours 4–5: Resource & Risk Management

• Conduct a detailed food and water inventory
• Create a rationing strategy
• Conserve battery power and protect electronics
• Assess property security and vulnerabilities

🧠 Hour 6: Establish Order & Routine

• Set a simple daily schedule
• Eat your first emergency meal
• Plan rest shifts for long-term resilience

Preparedness is not about fear — it’s about clarity under pressure. These first six hours are your opportunity to move from chaos to control.
