If you're like a lot of people we know, one of your favorite places to post important phone numbers is on the door of the refrigerator using decorative magnets to hold the memo in place. Chances are, there are also pictures of the pets, favorite drawings the kids gave you and birthday cards you want to save, all arranged haphazardly. Most likely, in an emergency, either Grandma or the neighborhood babysitter won't be able to find the critical information - if it's still legible.
Remember all the brochures and flyers you picked up at the PTA meeting about very important matters like what to do in a hurricane; evacuation procedures in case of a flood; your child's school lock down procedures and so on. Do you know where they are?
Or how about all the information you downloaded from the web? You printed up articles on what to do in a natural disaster, a terrorism attack, and a power blackout. Unfortunately, you never found the time to read them.
The objective of 911 The Red Book for Emergencies is to give you all the practical advice you need in one complete user friendly, easily recognizable format.

It is part guidebook, part journal, part workbook, part standard book, part resource book. We encourage you to write in it, underline, make notes. Just remember that someone else may have to read the important information at a crucial time. So write clearly. Are you ready? Let's Roll!
