Practical emergency prep for families

Most family emergency plans never get finished. This one takes a weekend.

Twelve tabs. A 15-minute quick start covers tonight. Three focused days finish the rest.

Families usually start this the week a storm's already in the forecast. Do it now, while things are calm. That's the whole trick.
