Item Tornado season : are you ready?(University of Missouri. Extension Division, 2022) Burnham, Conne"Each year, many people are killed or seriously injured by severe storms and tornadoes despite advance warning. Some didn't hear the warning, while others received the warning but did not believe a tornado would actually affect them. After you have received the warning or observed threatening skies, you must make the decision to seek shelter before the storm arrives. It could be the most important decision you will ever make."--Page 1.Item Disaster supplies kit(University of Missouri. Extension Division, 2022)"What should I put my family's disaster supplies kit in? Disaster Supplies kits can be large or small depending on how many persons you have to gather supplies for in your household. Remember that for your home disaster supplies kit you should include supplies for everyone in your household including pets. This may make a difference in what type of container you utilize for your kit. Next, remember that you may not be the one picking up or carrying the disaster supplies kit. Everyone should be able to get the kit and evacuate the home quickly. Some containers have wheels, some have straps and carrying handles to make evacuating quicker and easier. Below are some options of types of containers to use for your disaster supplies kit. You may have something to use already or you may need to purchase them. Either way you will need something dedicated for your disaster supplies kit. Mark it clearly so that everyone is aware of the contents."--Page 1.Item Family disaster plan(University of Missouri. Extension Division, 2022) Burnham, Conne"University of Missouri Extension has created a disaster plan template to guide families through the development process. Creating a plan begins with a family meeting to discuss and decide how the family will respond to a disaster. Use this template to guide the process."--Page 1.Item Family disaster plan : community emergency management program(University of Missouri. Extension Division, 2018)"A family disaster plan tells everyone in the household what they will do during an emergency. Having a plan reduces the stress of coping with the aftermath of a disaster. Using this booklet, families can easily assemble information about family members and pet, belongs and the dwelling, which may not be readily available following a disaster. This booklet is by no means inclusive or every situation, so families may need to include additional details specific to their needs."--First page.Item Financial recovery and risk management(University of Missouri. Extension Division, 2018) Procter, BrendaAs you attempt to restore your life and home after a disaster, you will face many decisions. In many cases, the decisions will involve large investments. Naturally, you will want to recover as much as possible through your homeowners insurance policy. Where insurance falls short of your needs, other types of assistance may be available, especially in a place the president has declared a disaster area. Uncovered claims are tax deductible if they exceed 10 percent of your adjusted gross income. Part of your financial recovery involves making good business decisions when contracting for repairs.
