Be Prepared

Do you know what you need in case of an emergency?

September was National Preparedness Month. Were you able to do anything to feel more prepared? Here is a list of some things you can do to help prepare for a possible emergency:

• Did you take the opportunity to establish an emergency escape plan for your house-hold?
• Do you know what sort of items would be useful to have in an emergency kit?
• Did you check the batteries in your smoke detectors, and change them if they needed to be changed?
• Has it been a decade or more since you changed your smoke detectors (if so, you need to change them out for new ones)?
• Do you know how much water you need to have on hand in case of an emergency per person per day?
