● Make sure you have non-perishable emergency supplies and a disaster supply kit.
● Have an evacuation plan in place for you and your pets.
● Establish a family communication plan for emergencies.
● Sign up for local wireless emergency alerts sent by authorized government agencies.
● Talk to your insurance agent about purchasing or renewing flood insurance.
● Keep important documents in a waterproof container and move valuables to
higher levels.
● Purchase a weather radio to listen for emergency updates and weather forecasts
● Receive up-to-date weather information and alerts during a natural disaster with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio App.
