Emergency Preparedness (COMMON SENSE) Tips:

​

• If possible, move to a safe area before the storm hits.

• Develop a Family Plan with your household members that outlines what to do, how to find each other, and how to communicate, evacuation routes, meeting point, etc.    

• Monitor weather conditions: Stay alert to weather reports and conditions over a few days and pay attention to any instructions from local authorities.  

• Contacts: Keep emergency contact numbers with you including family members, neighbors, friends, etc.

• Secure important documents especially those you may need to get through the emergency (insurance papers, account numbers, etc.)

• Secure loose objects in your yard, on your deck, roof, etc.

• Close and lock windows and doors. 

• Tape & secure any exposed glass surfaces.

• Prepare a "Go Bag" that will contain necessary items without requiring time to gather them at the last minute.

• Keep on hand non-perishable food which can be eaten without cooking (canned foods, cereals, etc.)  …minimum for 3 days.

• Keep an ample supply of bottled drinking water.

• Check flashlights or emergency lights that they are in working condition, and an ample supply of functional batteries.   

• Keep a battery operated radio on hand.

• Keep cell phones charged and have handy a car lighter adapter. 

• Fill your bathtub with water for flushing the toilet.

• Gas up your car. (If electrical power is off, service stations may not be able to operate pumps.)  A car can serve as an emergency generator for lighting and charging some batteries – keep adaptors in the car.

• Prepare appropriate emergency supplies to sustain yourself and your family for a few days (recommended three day supplies) if the storm's path becomes more evident of impacting your area. 

• Credit Cards, ATM’s could have NO power.
