If you needed to leave your house tonight, would you have what you need to quickly exit?
Pack a go-bag with essential supplies so you can quickly leave in emergencies like fires or floods.
Don't forget to include items specific to your needs, like prescription medicines, kid or pet supplies, contact lenses or glasses, and more.

ALT This image is a poster for SIDS Awareness Month in October. It lists tips for reducing the risk of SIDS: always place a baby on their back to sleep, use a sleep sack or swaddle, put the baby in a crib with a firm mattress and no pillows or toys, and keep the environment smoke-free. Breastfeeding is highlighted as beneficial. The poster includes logos for Help Me Grow, DC Health, and the government of the District of Columbia. A picture of a baby sleeping in a crib is shown. Contact information for Help Me Grow is provided.

Emergency preparedness isn't just for the home.
As kids settle into their back‑to‑school routines, it's a great time to talk about school emergency plans. Help them pack a small emergency kit for their lockers or cubbies. Consider including a printed emergency contact list, a comfort item like a deck of cards or a favorite book, wipes or sanitizer, and any essentials specific to their needs.
