SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich. – How would you respond if you were told you had to evacuate your home in just 10 minutes due to an emergency?
Local 4 is teaming up with a family in Shelby Township to test their preparedness -- and they have no idea what we’re going to ask them to do.
All they know is we stocked their home with cameras and we’re going to ask them to do something live on TV. They’ll find out the details of the assignment while all of you watch live, and we’ll see how they handle it.
Then, an expert from the Southeast Michigan Chapter of the American Red Cross will help us evaluate their response. Did they grab the right things before they got out? How did they prioritize? And, most importantly, what should you do if there’s a real emergency?
We have no idea what’s going to happen, but we do know it’s important to be prepared for emergencies like this, just in case.
You can watch the entire exercise play out in the stream posted above.
