217: A Practical Guide to Family Emergency Planning

What would you take if you had to evacuate your home? 

Are you prepared?

A study by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) found less than half of American households had discussed or developed an emergency plan.

After hearing the stories of many families I know having to evacuate with little to no warning, I decided it was time to finally get serious and actually make a plan for our family.

And today, we're turning that question into action as we walk through, step by step, the 3P's approach to family emergency preparedness: Plan, Pack and Practice.

No fancy gear, no doomsday prepping—just practical, affordable steps that any family can take.
