Storm Preparedness Checklist
Storms are easier when the basics are ready before the warning. Use this list as a starting point and follow local emergency guidance.
Stay informed
Keep a weather radio ready and know where you will get local alerts if the power or network goes down.
Light and power
Check flashlights and lanterns, and charge power banks and phones when a storm is forecast.
Water and food
Store water for every person and pet in your home. Ready.gov recommends at least one gallon per person per day for at least three days.
First aid
Have a stocked first aid kit and any prescription medicines you need, kept together and easy to reach.
Your car
Keep a charged jump starter and a first aid kit in the vehicle. Do not drive through flooded roads.
