Finishing the month off strong 💪
📋 Finalize Your Emergency Plan: Talk to your family about evacuation routes, designated meeting places, and out-of-area contacts.
🎒 Build or Refresh Your Kit: Ensure your go-bag or stay-at-home kit has fresh water (at least 3 days' worth), non-perishable food, flashlights, backup batteries, and essential medications.
📱Download Alert Apps: Make sure you have local emergency notification or weather apps installed on your phone to receive real-time hazard warnings.
🧐 Review Vital Documents: Protect important physical documents by storing digital, password-protected copies in a secure cloud or flash drive.

✔️ Preparedness is the continuous cycle of planning, organizing, training, equipping, and taking precautionary measures to effectively respond to and recover from emergencies.
