College life is busy, but being prepared for emergencies is just as important as your classes. Have a plan in place for what to do in case of severe weather, power outages, or other unexpected events. Make sure you know your campus’s emergency procedures and have a go-bag with essentials. Take control of your safety and be ready for anything!

*September is National Preparedness Month*
Emergencies can happen anytime, and having a plan makes all the difference. Take time to talk with your family about how you’ll respond to disasters and make sure your emergency kit is ready.
🧰 A well-stocked kit should keep your household safe and self-sufficient for several days. Be sure to include:
⏩ Water – 1 gallon per person per day
⏩ Non-perishable food for several days
⏩ Battery-powered or hand-crank radio & NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert
⏩ Flashlight & extra batteries
⏩ First Aid Kit & essential medications
⏩ Whistle (to signal for help)
⏩ Dust mask, plastic sheeting & duct tape (for sheltering in place)
⏩ Moist towelettes, garbage bags & ties (for sanitation)
⏩ Wrench/pliers (to turn off utilities)
⏩ Manual can opener
⏩ Local maps
⏩ Cell phone chargers & backup power
✅ Being prepared today means you and your loved ones are safer tomorrow.
