Water will be needed for drinking, cooking and bathing. Store enough bottled water for all members of your family and pets before pending storms or emergencies. Clean water that could be used for bathing and washing dishes is in your water heater if needed. ✔ FIRST AID
During a storm, phone and electrical lines go down. Dangerous weather conditions prevent emergency vehicles from responding to emergency situations. Preparing yourself and your family with CPR and First Aid training can save the life of a loved one.
PRESERVING FOOD

Use the ice in your freezer to keep perishables fresh and edible. Do not open the freezer until you absolutely have to in order to maintain proper temperature. ✔ USE
