Emergency preparedness for families with kids

Most emergency-prep advice is written for one adult living alone. This is the version for a house with a child in it - or a child and an aging parent, or a baby, or all three.

What FEMA covers, and what we add

The official checklists linked throughout this guide are thorough and free, and we point to them rather than rewriting them. What they do not cover is the part specific to a family with children: what goes on a child's own list, how to talk to them about it, and what changes when someone in the house needs more help than a standard list assumes.
