Emergency Preparedness: do you have a family/home emergency contact list? As many of us prepare for the upcoming school year, don't forget to create or edit (if needed) your emergency contact list. In addition to having a list prepared, make sure your family knows where it is kept so it can be quickly found in the event of an emergency.

If you do not have an emergency contact list or would like to update your current list, we have provided links to some free templates (see the image details) to make the process easier.

There is also a "phone pad activity sheet" (Android, iPhone, or standard telephone versions available) for you to print out and practice how to call 911 with your children.
