When a disaster happens, you might find yourself without water, gas or electricity. You might even need to leave your home right away. So you are supposed to plan for bad situations before the disaster comes. Here are some suggestions.
First, have a family meeting. Plan a way to get your family members together if you can’t find each other after the disaster. Choose two places for everyone to go to if it isn’t safe to return home. The first should be near your house. You can go there in an emergency(紧急情况) like a fire. The second should be outside your neighbourhood.

Next, choose a person outside your area who can help your family get in touch with each other. After a disaster, it is often easier to communicate over a long-distance call than a local one. The person can pass messages between your family members.
Then, get a family disaster kit(灾难应急包) ready. It should include things your family needs, such as bread, water and things like that. The kit can help you survive at least for three days. Put everything in a bag so you can carry it if you leave in a hurry. When doing it, remember that different people have different needs. Include special things necessary for the elderly or young members of your family.
