Ready WV Evacuation Planning, One of the most important ways you can prepare your home and family is to create an emergency kit. If you need to evacuate your home, having some essential supplies on hand will make you and your family more comfortable. Once a disaster hits, you won’t have time to shop or search for supplies. Discuss what to do and what to take with you if you have to leave your home. Practice what you have discussed.
