Have a plan
You should have an emergency plan in place and make sure all members of the family know the plan. It can be where to go in the event of a tornado or finding out where the nearest hurricane shelter is.
Have food and water
Have an adequate supply of bottled water and non-perishable food. You need to make sure the food is in a container that doesn’t require electricity to open and can be eaten cold in the event you don’t have a way to warm them. The alternative is to have a portable propane stove to cook them.
Flashlights and batteries
Nothing is worse than being stuck in the dark during an emergency. Large battery-operated LED lights provide a great deal of light and you will be able to avoid lighting candles or hitting in the dark.
Power supply
Having a generator or another alternate power supply can make all the difference and can keep the food in your fridge and freezer safe when the electricity has gone out and kept your cell phone charged.
Store important documents safely
Know where they are and have them in a fire and waterproof box or envelope.
