• Build an emergency supply kit. It should contain first-aid supplies, as well as nonperishable food and one gallon of water per person per day for at least 72 hours.
• Create an evacuation plan that includes pets so your family knows what to do and where to go if severe weather is on the way. Be prepared to evacuate if told to do so, and make sure family and friends know how to reach you after a storm.
• Protect your home as much as possible. Performing routine maintenance – like removing dead trees and branches and clearing gutters and downspouts – can help.
• Create an inventory of your belongings, in case you need to file a claim after a storm. Take photos or a video, or use the home inventory feature on

• Make sure you have flashlights and fresh batteries, and charge cellphones and other electronic devices.
• Get extra cash, as ATMs may not work if the power goes out.
