If you have a family, it'd be a good idea to practice disaster drills once a year so that if a disaster DOES strike your area, you and the family will know what to do. I don't have any kids yet, but I'm definitely planning on doing this once a year on a nice weekend: Just up and declare "We're going camping, everyone grab your bug out bag and meet at the car in 10 minutes, GO!" Might as well make the drills fun
