Ready New York – Preparing for Emergencies | Free Emergency Preparedness PDF Guide

Free NYC Household Disaster Planning and Emergency Safety Guide

Emergencies can occur without warning. Hurricanes, severe storms, flooding, fires, power outages, and other unexpected events can disrupt daily life and create dangerous conditions for New York City residents.

The Ready New York – Preparing for Emergencies pocket guide, published by NYC Emergency Management, helps individuals and families understand how to prepare before an emergency occurs.

This free downloadable English-language PDF provides essential household emergency planning information, recommended supplies, evacuation preparation guidance, and an emergency reference card.

The guide is useful for NYC tenants, homeowners, landlords, property managers, building superintendents, and anyone interested in improving household emergency preparedness.

1. Create a Household Disaster Plan

Every household should develop and practice an emergency plan so family members understand what to do if an unexpected disaster occurs.

The guide recommends:

  • Establishing two emergency meeting locations: one near your home and another outside your neighborhood.

  • Identifying and practicing evacuation routes.

  • Selecting an out-of-area emergency contact.

  • Planning for children, older adults, individuals with disabilities, and pets.

  • Keeping important contact information accessible.

  • Reviewing appropriate homeowners' or renters' insurance coverage.

A clear emergency plan can help household members communicate and reconnect during a disaster.

2. Assemble a Seven-Day Emergency Supply Kit

NYC Emergency Management recommends maintaining enough emergency supplies at home for up to seven days.

Suggested emergency supplies include:

  • One gallon of drinking water per person per day.

  • Nonperishable, ready-to-eat food.

  • Manual can opener.

  • First-aid kit.

  • Flashlight.

  • Battery-operated or hand-crank radio.

  • Extra batteries.

  • Glow sticks.

  • Whistle or bell.

Emergency supplies should be stored in an accessible location and reviewed twice a year.

3. Prepare an Emergency Evacuation Go Bag

Every household member should have an emergency Go Bag that can be carried quickly if evacuation becomes necessary.

Recommended Go Bag items include:

  • Copies of identification and important documents.

  • Insurance information.

  • Emergency cash and copies of financial cards.

  • Bottled water and nonperishable snacks.

  • Flashlight and portable radio.

  • Medication list, dosages, and physician contact information.

  • First-aid supplies.

  • Personal hygiene items.

  • Child care and pet care essentials.

  • Lightweight rain gear and emergency blanket.

  • Household emergency contacts and meeting locations.

  • Small regional map.

Keep the Go Bag accessible and update its contents as household needs change.

4. Complete Your Emergency Reference Card

The Ready New York guide includes an emergency reference card that household members can complete with important information.

The card provides spaces for:

  • Name.

  • Local emergency meeting place.

  • Meeting place outside the neighborhood.

  • Work, school, or other evacuation locations.

  • Work or school contact information.

  • Out-of-area emergency contact.

  • Homeowners' or renters' insurance information.

  • Doctors' names and telephone numbers.

Every household member should have an emergency reference card.

5. Understand NYC Emergency Services

The guide explains when to contact New York City emergency services.

Call 911 for emergencies: Immediate danger, crimes in progress, serious injuries, or life-threatening medical conditions.

Call 311 for non-emergencies: NYC government services, general information, and non-emergency assistance.

Residents can also obtain additional emergency preparedness information through NYC Emergency Management.

Recommended building safety practices include:

  • Encouraging residents to prepare personal emergency plans.

  • Keeping emergency exits and evacuation routes unobstructed.

  • Maintaining required fire safety and emergency signage.

  • Providing residents with appropriate emergency information.

  • Encouraging tenants to prepare evacuation Go Bags.
