The winter season is in full swing, the days are getting colder and rainfall is expected. Winter is a great time to bundle up and stay warm in the comfort of your home, however are you prepared for when disaster strikes?

A Few Ways to Prepare for Disasters

- Build a grab and go supply kit with enough items to cover each person/pet living under the same roof for 3 days.

Include the following:

• Clean water
• Non-perishable food/utensils to eat with (Ex. Canned foods, long shelf life products, and dehydrated foods)
• First-Aid supplies
• Prescribed medications
• Diapers/formula for young children
• Copies of important/legal documents
• Cash
• Misc. Items: Toiletries, blankets/clothes, batteries, flash lights, emergency contacts information, etc.
