• It may be easier to make a long-distance phone call than to call across town, so an out-of-town contact may be in a better position to communicate among separated family members.
• Be sure every member of your family knows the phone numbers and has either cell phones or coins or a prepaid phone card to call the emergency contacts listed on the Call Lists you have created with My ICE Plan software

Emergency Information

Find out what kinds of disasters, both natural and man-made, are most likely to occur in your area and how you will be notified. Methods of getting your attention vary from community to community. One common method is to broadcast via emergency radio and TV broadcasts. You might hear a special siren, or get a telephone call, or emergency workers may go door-to-door. Make sure you list this when creating your plan so all family members know what to do.

Meeting Places

Create a plan for members of your family to meeting at certain locations. Create a Neighborhood and a Regional Meeting place. Find out from local government where local evacuation places are at. Include directions and instructions in this plan. Use My ICE Plan Family Emergency Plan section to document these meeting places as well as storing any images of maps as well as images of other important documents such as credit cards, birth certificates, driver licenses, and so forth. Even though these may not be legal documents they can be very useful in obtaining lost documents or even proving who you are in a medical situation.

The "Instructions" sections of each meeting place and the Images/Movies sections were designed for this purpose. (see image 1) . Additionally create movies regarding any information you want to pass along to your family members in case of your death. It may prove to be very handy in time of a crisis as far as legal matters are concerned.
