LESSON SIX: Pets and farm animals or working animals for evacuations to be housed or boarded. Your
decision to evacuate your pets can be a hard one to make. Your standard evacuation shelter will not allow
non-working animals (e.g.: seeing eye dog) into it. You must plan ahead where to take or board your pet and
hopefully have a standing reservation at a kennel or a friends house. Evacuating your pet will already be
stressful on him or her and leaving a pet at home especially during a storm or hurricane would be worse on
your pets.
As you develop your evacuation plans, know three to four places where you could leave or board your pets
along the evacuation routes. PRIMARY CONTACT AND PHONE:
_______________________________________________________________________________________
ALTERNATE CONTACT AND PHONE: ______________________________________________________
FARM ANIMALS AND STOCK ANIMALS: The best place to get information on how to protect or evacuate
your farm animals would be at your County Extension Agent. Name and Phone:
____________________________________________________________.
LESSON SEVEN: Helping our Seasoned Citizens or other housebound persons. If you have elderly, disabled
or a housebound relative or neighbor and if they have a hard time making it economically, then why don’t you
buy an extra “Version One” Soft Cover or Version Two Soft Cover, of “A Families’ Comprehensive Pre-Disaster Planning Manual”, $22.95, ISBN: 9781477604137, please make it a gift to them and help them
develop proper evacuation kits. Ask the Metro or Area Manager or Transportation Supervisor (CDL-Bus) on
how to help evacuate them to a FDN safe area when necessary. This is why we need plenty of members to
take various network positions at State, Metro/District, Area or Group Position–see pages 93 to 96).
LESSON EIGHT: Helping those who have special needs or that are disabled. Whether these persons are
close relatives and friends ore you might work with them, then you might want to get your complex/agency
inside the FDN network, see Chapters 5 and 6. If your business/agency/complex/organization gets 25
members including their families to join FDN and purchases $72.00 of any FDN books, then one free hour
will be made available to you via Skype, phone, e-mail or in person where available. Do the 100 point
checklist on pages 63 to 66 first.
DON’T FORGET THESE ITEMS: Even healthy babies are special because they can’t take care of
themselves. So if you have babies, then make sure that you have extra diapers, wipes, zinc, powder, baggies,
bottles, formula, food, etc. Metro Logistics and Warehouser should have various baby, medical, pet, blankets,
several hundred gallons of water and dry goods as the Metro Account grows, see Chapter 13 in the Version
Two.
Also don’t forget speciality hygiene or medical items, prescriptions, medicines, vitamins and pet items. If you
have done this at your Metro/District or Area/Group, then you have helped mitigate the effects of a disaster
or evacuation. Don’t forget to add special needs items for the elderly, the housebound and disabled in the
above paragraphs. Just think outside the box on this planning. Adjust your FESOP plans or business, club,
religious or organizational plans. Call us if you have any questions. This is your Personalized Disaster
Planning Network.
HOW ABOUT IF I CAN’T AFFORD A WEEKS WORTH OF GROCERIES, NO LESS SIX MONTHS? No
worries, do what you can do or afford. Work with the Metro Kit Supervisor and the Metro Warehouser. They
can make sure that you are involved and in the loop as much as possible and have rations or supplies
available for volunteering your efforts of about ten hours a month. If there seems to be no Metro Personnel,
then contact Red at 605-838-9759 (7am-9pm ct, Monday to Saturday) or email me at
redbecker2016@gmail.com .
LESSON NINE: Further Evacuation Plans and Procedures for the last three lessons: HOW TO BECOME
EVACUATION CONTROL IN YOUR METRO/AREA. You can have this position as well as any position listed
below. First, get a hold of Red to see if there is anyone in your Metro is not responding to radio calls or
message boards. Each Metro or State should have a Evacuation Control Supervisor which coordinates with
Planning and Operations, Communications Supervisor, Security Supervisor, Transportation Supervisor,
Logistician and a Warehouser. All of these people as well as Metro and Area Management and Trainers with
Security and Recon Specialists should have quarterly meetings in the first week of January, April, July and
October to update and drive evacuation routes prior to any disaster or emergency. ARE YOU AN ICP?
Who is the Initial Contact Person in your Area/Metro?
___________________________________________
Now how do you evacuate? Lots of new neighborhoods now only have one or two exits with lots of loops,
s-curves and cul-de-sacs. First try to evacuate as soon as possible prior to the event or right after the event.
If there is heavy traffic both ways on a major road with out a traffic light, then pull a “Red”, turn right, go as far
as you can to get in to a left turn lane with a left arrow, go left and get turned around and go the way that you
need to. That is why you need to check out–“Recon”–your routes. Of course route planning always depends
on the situation. Use your maps and Lesson 16 on page 40 to learn more about map reading.

SYNOPSIS: NUMBER ONE: SEEK PROFESSIONAL ADVICE! Yes there is software or websites, but they
only go so far and can only represent so much and I can give only so much advice. SEEK PROFESSIONAL
ADVICE ON THESE OPTIONS ABOVE! THE OBJECT OF SURVIVABILITY IS BEING PREPARED FOR
ANYTHING AT ANYTIME!
NUMBER TWO: Do all forms on pages 117 to 120 we will compile a list of what kind of documents that you have,
and that you will WRITE THEM DOWN, and WHERE OTHERS CAN FIND THEM. Don’t forget to list the account
numbers, names, addresses, phones, etc. MAKE COPIES OF THOSE BLANK PAGES, FILL IN AND MAKE
COPIES OF THE FILLED IN PAGES.
NUMBER THREE: Plenty of secure back-up kits at different locations not in a flood or fire zones. Share
and secure resources if needed. Duplication is the key to Survivability. NETWORK IT. VIRAL IT.
Thanks, Red.
