Be prepared

Being prepared is the most effective way to stay safe during any natural disaster. Taking action now can help protect you, your family, your home, and your pets when it matters most.
Keep in mind that during a disaster, Emergency Services may not always be able to reach you immediately - so having a plan in place is essential.
Access to clear, reliable information is critical before and during an emergency. Make sure you stay informed through trusted sources.
