  • Ensuring you have flashlights and extra batteries.
  • Charging electronic devices and keeping external batteries on hand.
  • Stocking an emergency supply kit for your home and vehicles.
  • Keeping your vehicle’s gas tank half-full or more.
  • Storing important documents and valuables in waterproof containers and moving them to the higher levels of your home.
  • Clearing out gutter and getting sand/sandbags if you home is prone to flooding.
  • Creating a physical list of emergency services and family contacts in case your electronic devices malfunction.
