• Contact family and friends to let them know you are safe.
• Contact your insurance company immediately.
• Make plans for food, shelter and clothing – contact family and friends to see if they can help.
• Tell your employer or school what your situation is.
• Cancel appointments.
• Tell your children’s school what happened.
