Planning is essential to minimise the damage that may be caused in the event of a disaster. Through preparation and familiarisation with emergency procedures, residents can calmly take the necessary actions to survive a disaster event.

It is important for families and households to prepare themselves as best as possible to survive for an extended period of time in a disaster situation. An emergency plan should outline the exact course of action each family member should take in a disaster scenario.
