Make a family emergency plan
A household plan for fires, storms, and power outages with meeting points, contacts, and a supply checklist kids understand.
The prompt
Help me create an emergency plan for my family.
Household: [adults, kids with ages, older relatives, pets]
Home type: [apartment floor, house, mobile home]
Local risks: [e.g. "hurricanes", "wildfire", "earthquakes", "winter storms", "floods"]
Special needs: [medications, medical devices, mobility, allergies, infant supplies]
Where kids spend their days: [schools, daycare, activities]
Give me:
1. A one-page plan: two meeting places (near home and outside the neighborhood), an out-of-area contact, and how we'll reach each other if phones are down.
2. A fire escape plan: two ways out of each room, a practice schedule, and what to teach kids (get low, never go back inside).
3. A plan for each local risk: shelter in place versus evacuate, and where we'd go.
4. A go-bag and home supply checklist sized for my household, including kids' comfort items, pet needs, and copies of key documents.
5. A kid-friendly version: what each child should know by heart, at their age, and a practice game.
6. A twice-yearly review checklist (batteries, food dates, contact updates).
Tell me to check my local emergency management office and my kids' schools for official evacuation routes and pickup policies, marked [CHECK LOCALLY]. Always: in a real emergency, call emergency services.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
