The303Plan.com addresses important questions like:

- What would you do in case of a disaster?
- Where would you take your family?
- Where could you go that was safe from fires, tsunamis, or earthquakes?
- How could you get there? What would you take with you?

The family emergency plan answers these questions. It engages the families in The 303 plan calling for "a simple and easy to understand plan exercise", even making it a fun family activity. Due to the repetition in exercising the family emergency plan, participants can be ready to help themselves and knowledgeable to assist others. This is one of the most profound aspects of this effort that we are sure will increase participation of families actually creating a plan.

History shows that whenever disaster strikes, most of the lives saved are saved in the first24hours and the first 24 hours is very crucial in any disaster.

The foundation's research shows that 80 per cent of people are saved by those already on the disaster sites, not by specialist emergency teams, yet 97 per cent of the world do not know what to do after a disaster.

The First 24 Hrs Foundation had it inception in 1992 by Emergency Services and Public Safety Personnel to provide funding and support when responding to the ever increasing numbers of man made and natural disasters around the world. The First 24 Hrs Foundation is a registered Charity, a Not for Profit Non Government Organisation (NGO).

The unique and diverse physical and geographical nature of the Australian continent and its proximity to immediate geographical surrounds means it is regularly the subject of a variety of natural disasters, including floods, bushfires, cyclones, tidal surges, and earthquakes. The world is increasingly the subject of man made and natural disasters. The Foundation realizes that these threats require the ability to not only respond to disasters world wide when they occur (disaster and refugee relief, emergency / crisis mitigation), but to also educate the world in both the public and private sector about the sources of risk, and to prepare themselves, their families, and their immediate environment, in the event of a threat of or actual disaster or crisis.

When disaster strikes, self help is the best help. You and your family should have a plan in place and each member should know what he/she is supposed to do in case of a disaster.

So if your family has a safety plan in place then there is no last minute confusion and YOU WILL DO MUCH BETTER with a plan in place.

Activating your 303 plan is very easy. Spend $5 a month and activate your plan.

The 303 Plan is really simple, spend 30 minutes every 3 months with your family around the dinner table or even from remote.
