Emergency Kit

When storms are approaching, you should stockpile some essential supplies in the event a storm or power outage prevents you from leaving your home.

Here are a few things you keep on hand:

Flashlight and extra batteries
Battery-powered NOAA Weather Radio and portable radio to receive emergency information and weather updates
Extra canned food and water – don’t forget the non-electric can opener
Extra blankets or sleeping bags
First-aid supplies
Heating fuel such as wood for a fireplace or kerosene if the electricity goes out – just remember to use these fuel source properly to prevent fires and have proper ventilation
Fire extinguisher and smoke detector – be sure to test them regularly to ensure they are working properly
