I almost forgot: another thing to preplan with your family is to have a friend or relative that lives out of the area (a long distance phone call away) that all of you agree to call if you’re separated after an emergency.
The reason is that post-emergency, many local calls won’t go through, and you may not be able to reach your local family. But if everyone checks in with your long-distance contact you can at least find out who has checked in or not and find out their status.
