NYC Emergency Preparedness Planning

Get Prepared! Make a disaster plan with your roommates to prepare for what to do, how to find each other, and how to communicate in case of an emergency.

Visit the NYC Emergency Management site for more information and resources, including tips on:

• Go Bag - a collection of things you would want if you have to leave in a hurry.
• Emergency Supply Kit - keep enough supplies in your home to survive on your own for up to 7 days.
• How to Get Information - list of channels where Emergency Management will be sharing updates
• When to Go: Evacuation - your first choice should be to stay with friends or family if possible
• When to Stay: Sheltering in Place - this could be as simple as remaining at home while officials clear hazards from a nearby area, or it could require more active measures during emergencies involving contaminated air.
