Video Summary

To prepare for any disaster, families should create a detailed emergency plan, including contact information, medical details, meeting spots, and pet considerations. Practicing the plan is crucial for readiness. Additionally, building a comprehensive emergency kit or go-bag with essential supplies is advised. Texas residents can utilize the STEER database for emergency assistance or the HHS Empower Registry for those with power-dependent needs. It's important to consider assistive technology (AT) by keeping extra batteries or backup options, and having paper communication aids if AT fails. Next module will cover the Texas Emergency Assistance Registry's details.
