Safety Tips for your Home in the Event of Severe Weather

 

Be Prepared: Put together emergency items before severe weather strikes.  Store your basic emergency kit in a waterproof container. Include flashlights for each person with extra batteries, first aid kit, work gloves, duct tape and more.

You can also think for a survival kit that includes a 2 weeks supply of non-perishable food, drinking water (one gallon per person per day for 2 weeks), plastic tarp, extra clothing, cash, camera and two coolers - one for food and the other to hold ice.

Remember that if there is no electric power, banks may be temporarily closed.
