Disaster Prep

What do you do when a natural disaster is heading your way? How do you prepare for a hurricane, tornado, or flood? Having a financial plan for these emergencies is as important as having an evacuation or response plan. This template includes categories for preparing for a natural disaster, evacuation and recovery.

Notes

This template is based on a family of 3 in Augusta, GA, who got hit by Hurricane Helene. A tree fell on their home, and they lost running water and power for 2 weeks. This template reflects their costs for evacuation, repairing damage, and preparing for the next hurricane season.
