Emergency Kit: Prepare an emergency kit that includes essential items such as bottled water, non-perishable food, medications, flashlights, extra batteries, a first-aid kit, essential documents, and any other necessary items for you and your family.

These guides offer valuable information on how to protect yourself and your loved ones during severe weather conditions.
