Don't Panic, Prepare: 4 Things To Do Now For Your Family

QUINCY, Mass. - EntSun -- Most emergency plans today cover how to protect your family if you need to evacuate from your home like in the times of fires or earthquakes.  With Coronavirus, we face the opposite situation where we must all stay home.

Created by lawyers, former high-level government officials, and national eldercare experts, Gentreo helps users protect their families through online health and estate planning.  Gentreo tips on preparing your family for the crisis we now face:

1.      Assess your situation and prepare a plan – develop a routine
a.      Educate yourself – for example, is the problem that there is no food, or that you might want to buy food differently, for instance through home delivery?

b.      Plan for each family member's needs
        i.      Children are now being home schooled. How, where and when will you do this?
        ii.     Older adults may be at home alone, how will you check in on them?
        iii.    Pets matter too - make sure there is a plan if you can't care for your pet yourself.

c.       Know who oversees what: from preparing food to pet care, make people responsible for activities and hold all accountable.

d.      Agree to "rules of the house" – Agree to what rules your family will live by, for example, everyone is expected to wash their hands when they come in from a walk or clean up after their own messes.  If everyone agrees now to what is acceptable, you can avoid arguments in the future.

a.      We live in a digital world – take advantage of applications like Skype, Facebook or others so you can see people, talk or play games.

b.      Pick up the phone – texting and phone calls are great too.

c.       Set a schedule for connecting so you can check-in and make sure everyone is doing okay.

3.       Work must go on – own it
a.      Find a space in your home that you can dedicate to work.

b.      Set a time to work with as little interference as possible.

c.       If you manage others, make sure they do the same.

d.      Set regular check-ins with the office to stay on track and make sure your team understands expectations and is working toward the same goal.

4.      Unfortunately, emergencies will still happen – plan for them
