- Be informed, make a plan, make a kit:
- Be informed: know what type of emergencies happen in the area where you are traveling.
- Make a plan: have safe places identified for your family and others with whom you are traveling to meet if separated, and make sure you know how to let them know you are okay.
- Make a kit: your travel health kit should include first-aid supplies, copies of important documents (such as passport or prescriptions), and a list of emergency contacts..."
