Having an emergency preparedness kit on hand may help you keep your family safe during a disaster. Store supplies in a large waterproof container near a door or in your garage so you can grab it and find shelter quickly. Ready.gov recommends you have at least three days' worth of food, water and medications on hand. They also provide a list of items to include in your disaster kit:

Drinking water (at least one gallon per person per day)

Nonperishable food, such as canned veggies and protein bars

Manual can opener

Flashlights or portable lanterns and extra batteries

First aid kit

A crank- or battery-powered radio

Sanitation supplies: toilet paper, moist towelettes, soap, trash bags and disinfectants

Local maps

Depending on your situation, your kit might also include:

Baby food, bottles and diapers

Pet food

Prescription medications

Extra eyeglasses or contact lenses and solution

Dry clothing and blankets

Listen to local officials

Local governments have systems in place to help area residents learn about impending or occurring disasters. The timely information these entities provide can help you understand what threats are present and know when it's necessary to evacuate.

Sign up for alerts from local and national organizations to get the information you need. These may include text messages about urgent situations. You'll also see and hear written and spoken messages via cable TV and phone calls. In addition, you can tune into NOAA Weather Radio, which broadcasts weather-hazard information and safety alerts 24/7.

Remember that the groups that provide these messages are experts. Respect their warnings, and follow their guidance as closely as possible for your own safety.

Create and practice a disaster plan

Your family needs a clearly outlined plan to follow that helps keep everyone safe during a natural disaster or an evacuation. According to Ready.gov, the four primary factors that your plan should account for include:

Where to shelter

A route for evacuation

Getting emergency alerts and warnings

Family communication

As you're creating your disaster plan, keep the following preparation elements in mind:

Sign up for severe weather alerts in your area.

Program emergency numbers into your phone.

Decide on a meeting place for your family to gather.

Plan escape routes from your home and neighborhood. Remember, roads could be blocked in large-scale disasters. Have at least one alternate route — or more if possible.

Be sure all adult and teenage family members know how to shut off gas, electric and water lines if there's a leak or electrical short. Keep the necessary tools easily accessible, and make sure everyone knows where these are.

Consider learning CPR and first aid training.

Remember your pets. Bring dogs and cats inside during a catastrophe or make a plan for how you'll evacuate with them. Make sure they have ID tags.
