Money Pros Guide – Week 8️⃣ : What Would You Do In An Emergency?](https://insnerds.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Week-8-Get-Ready-action-item-Create-a-critical-emergency-action-list.png) Hi, Happy Friday. Ready to hop into this week’s Get Ready Update? Let’s go! ![](https://insnerds.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Week-8-Get-Ready-action-item-Create-a-critical-emergency-action-list.png?width=499&height=499&name=Week-8-Get-Ready-action-item-Create-a-critical-emergency-action-list.png) ![](https://insnerds.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Week-8-Get-Ready-action-item-Create-a-critical-emergency-action-list.png?width=499&height=499&name=Week-8-Get-Ready-action-item-Create-a-critical-emergency-action-list.png) ✅ Week 8 Action Item: Create a critical emergency action list. 👉 Do you know the steps to take in the event of an emergency? 👉 Knowing the steps when there’s an emergency will help you know what tasks need to be accomplished so that you don’t forget anything important. 👉 During an emergency, you may have limited time to gather what you need, you may lose access to the internet, or you may realize you’re lacking certain supplies. 👉 Every family is unique, so a one-size-fits-all action plan may not address all your family’s needs. It’s important to take the time to think through the steps that are essential to you and your family. 👉 Here’s what works, create and update your list, here are some things to include (Get Ready Insiders can access a Critical Emergency Action List worksheet from their dashboard): – Family meeting locations (primary and secondary). – Evacuation procedures – Know how to shut off water, gas and main electrical switch – Communication plan. Have an out-of-area contact. – Make sure fire extinguishers are accessible and how to use them. – Monitor your smoke, carbon, dioxide, and other alarms. – Know what you will need to take in the event of an evacuation. ⭐️ Pro-tip: 👉 Keep a copy of your critical emergency action list in an easy-to-find location, such as on your refrigerator. Also, keep a copy in your emergency kit (if you have one). Consider giving a copy (or partial copy) to a trusted relative, friend, or neighbor. 💭 Habit of the week: 👉 Consider what actions you would need to take in an emergency. 💡 **Get Ready Money Guide Tip**: Discussion prompts and ideas for those following [The Get Ready Guide Kit](https://www.tonysteuer.com/login) 👉 What’s the #1 item that you are adding to your Critical Emergency Action List? **Weekly YouTube Short (using YouTube – less than one minute – 130-175 words)** **Social Media Post** **Get Ready Insiders:** 📝 Access your guided walk-through, fillable PDF’s and worksheets for this week’s action item (#8: Create A Critical Emergency Action List) from your dashboard. 👉 The Get Ready Blueprint week 8 👉 Critical Emergency Action List worksheet where you can enter your list (Get Ready!/Get Ready Toolkit: Creating Your Financial First Aid Kit section). 👉 Emergency contacts worksheet (Get Ready!/Get Ready Toolkit: Creating Your Financial First Aid Kit section).
