Emergency Preparedness Month

September is Emergency Preparedness Month.  To keep safe during an emergency, you first need a good supply kit.

Supply Kit

Water
Canned food, non-perishable with manual can opener
Battery-powered portable radio
Flashlight
First aid kit
Cell phone with charger
Important documents: insurance, bank records, etc. in a waterproof plastic bag
Extra clothing
Bathroom supplies
And of course: Medications!

It is also extremely important to review your emergency plan with your family. 

Know where to go during an emergency, setting up meeting places depending on if you are at home indoors, outdoors, or at a different location.

Always have an emergency contact number available.  Also, write down (save) phone numbers of insurance companies, emergency services, utilities, medical providers, etc. 

Make sure to practice and review your plan periodically so you are prepared if an emergency does occur.
