Some simple steps for emergency planning can make all the difference!

Please let someone know before a disaster happens if you are on oxygen or you have a piece of medical equipment that needs refilling or electricity.  This will help evacuation workers plan ahead.

Check on neighbors and friends during an emergency to see if they are all right.

If you should need to go to a shelter during a declared emergency, you may want to bring these items with you:

• Blanket, Pillow, and Sleeping Bag (if possible)
• Prescription Drugs
• Baby Needs (formula, diapers)
• Children's Needs (change of clothes, toys)
• Important Papers (in case your residence gets damaged)
