If you are in your car

If you are in your car or driving when a disaster strikes, you will need to know what to do. Follow these simple steps:

• If you drive to work, understand that you may be stranded in your vehicle for some time. A flood, snow storm or major traffic accident could make it impossible to proceed
• Store a pair of walking shoes, waterproof jacket, essential medicines, snack food, water and a torch in your car
• In an earthquake, pull over to the side of the road and stop
• Do not drive in floodwaters
