We often share preparedness messages hoping you’ll never need them.

But when emergencies happen, and you do need them, you don’t want to realize you weren’t ready.

Preparedness isn’t about panic or hoarding.
It’s about planning ahead and taking only what you need, so supplies remain available for everyone.

Build a reasonable 72-hour emergency kit.
Have a plan for your household.
Stay informed through trusted sources.

Buying responsibly helps prevent shortages, reduces stress, and supports your community.

Because it’s always better to be prepared and not need it
than to need it and not have it.

Make a severe weather plan before you need it! Your family may not be together when a disaster strikes, so it is important to plan in advance: how you will get to a safe place, how you will contact one another, how you will get back together, and what you will do in different situations.

Did you know?
Many preventable illnesses spread before symptoms appear. Simple steps like vaccination, handwashing, and staying home when sick protect you and your community.
