September is National Preparedness Month. Are You Prepared? September is National Preparedness Month and the American Red Cross wants to make sure you are ready if something happens. There are several different types of disasters and the Red Cross has suggestions on how to prepare for all of them. We can help you prepare your family, your school, and your workplace. Visit our website to learn more. www.redcross.org/prepare
Noncombatant Evacuation Operations Kits Another important step in preparing for potential disasters is completing a NEO Kit for your family. Having a properly prepared NEO Kit can help make sure your family is ready to go when disasters hit. Below is a checklist of the items your kit should contain. • Passport for each family member • Emergency Pay Form DD 1337 • An inventory of all your household goods (be sure to include any vehicles along with titles and insurance papers) • Birth Certificates for each family member • Identification papers to include: copies of each family members Military identification; Sojourners Permits and personal insurance (if applicable) • Pre-prepared travel orders for DOD civilian family members • Power of Attorney paperwork (if applicable) • Navpers Form 1740/6 • Pet Supplies (if applicable): identification papers (Immunizations, photo of pet); storage cages for each pet; and a minimum of 14 days of food
