Being prepared for natural disasters is important for everyone. Whether it’s a storm, earthquake, or other emergencies, having a plan can keep you safe. Here are some things to consider from FEMA: First, make sure you have a phone or weather alert device to get important updates. Keep your important papers and items in a safe place where you can easily find them. Have a plan to communicate with your family in case you’re separated during an emergency. Keep an emergency bag with essentials like food, water, and medicine. Learn about the dangers in your area and how to stay safe during a disaster. Know the best ways to leave your home safely if you need to evacuate.
Plan for your pets and make sure they have what they need during an emergency. Keep your car’s gas tank full so you’re ready to go if you have to leave quickly. Stay updated with local news for emergency alerts and have a meeting spot planned with your family and friends. Having a plan in place now can help you stay safe and connected during a disaster.
