Some
suggestions for You to do:
(Courtesy of ready.gov
+ other sites)
Put together a disaster supply
kit, including a flashlight, batteries, cash, first aid supplies, and copies of
your critical information if you need to evacuate
Secure loose rain gutters and
downspouts and clear any clogged areas or debris to prevent water damage to
your property.
Remember to keep generators and
other alternate power/heat sources outside, at least 20 feet away from windows
and doors and protected from moisture; and NEVER try to power the house wiring
by plugging a generator into a wall outlet.
Charge your cell phone now so
you will have a full battery in case you lose power.
Bring loose, lightweight objects
inside that could become projectiles in high winds (e.g., patio furniture,
garbage cans); anchor objects that would be unsafe to bring inside (e.g.,
propane tanks);

stock your vehicle with emergency supplies and a change of clothes. Have in
