🎒🏫 Back-to-School Preparedness Starts at Home!

As the new school year begins, take a few minutes to make sure your family is prepared if plans suddenly change.

✅ Update your emergency contacts — Make sure your school and family contact information is current.

💬 Make a family communication plan — Know how you’ll connect if you’re separated.

📍 Know where to meet — Choose a safe meeting place and review how you’ll reach each other if your normal plans change.

Preparedness doesn’t have to be complicated. A few simple conversations today can make an unexpected situation tomorrow less stressful for the whole family.

🗺️ Prepare today. Be ready tomorrow.
