If you are unable to find a family member during an emergency situation, such as a fire or storm, you should follow these steps:
-
Stay calm and assess the situation. Determine if it is safe for you to search for your missing family member, or if you need to evacuate to a safe location first.
-
If you are able to search for your missing family member, try to retrace your steps and look for any clues that may help you to find them. Check areas where they may have been, such as their bedroom, the bathroom, or any other rooms they may have been in before the emergency occurred.

If you are unable to find your missing family member, contact the authorities and provide them with as much information as possible, including their name, age, physical description, and any medical conditions they may have.
-
If you are evacuating, leave a note or some other form of communication in a visible location, letting your missing family member know where you are going and how they can contact you.
-
If you are unable to evacuate, stay in a safe location and continue to monitor local news and other sources of information for updates.
It is important to stay calm and follow the instructions of authorities during an emergency situation. If you are unable to find your missing family member, contact the authorities and provide them with as much information as possible to help them in their search.
