<strong>GOHSEP</strong> Louisiana <strong>Elected</strong> <strong>Officials</strong> Emergency Management <strong>Manual</strong><br />
Prepare + Prevent + Respond + Recover + mitigate<br />
Emergency preparedness begins at home. The Get a<br />
Game Plan program guides families through the process<br />
of preparing for the emergencies Louisiana is likely to<br />
face through an all-hazards preparations approach.<br />
The site offers sections on Family Plan,<br />
Business Plan, Mitigation Plan and Kids Plan<br />
to encourage a culture of preparedness.<br />
Within individual sections, the site provides<br />
recommendations for emergency kits and evacuation<br />
plans, business continuity planning, weather alert<br />
sign ups and more.<br />
There are also links to mitigation resources and<br />
print materials from <strong>GOHSEP</strong> workshops that may be<br />
downloaded regarding hazard mitigation grants, best<br />
practices in procurement and other important topics.<br />
getagameplan.org provides a convenient link to the<br />
2011 State Hazard Mitigation Plan (SHMP) update.<br />
The getagameplan.org site also serves as a gateway<br />
for citizens to report suspicious activity. A simple click<br />
provides information for call-in notifications and ways<br />
to report activity through the web.<br />
Also follow <strong>GOHSEP</strong> on Facebook and Twitter to stay<br />
updated with alerts or view pictures and videos from<br />
our social media pages.<br />

Both getagameplan and getabusinessplan Apps for<br />
the iPhone and iPad are available as free downloads<br />
through the Apple iTunes Store.<br />
Alert FM is another free App available to<br />
download through the Apple iTunes Store or<br />
Google Play. It functions like a weather radio,<br />
but with unique local alerts from emergency officials.<br />
The user enters a “home” zip code upon launching<br />
the App. This connects the user with State and local<br />
emergency managers on the network.<br />
