Ready to evacuate
There may be times where an emergency occurs and you need to evacuate your premises. This may be due to flooding, a fire or incidents causing structural damage.
Plan how you will leave and where you will go if you are advised to evacuate. It is better to be prepared for this type of emergency and already have a pre-packed (grab) bag available to pick up and go.
