In the event of an emergency, you may not have time to find or collect essential items in a hurry. An emergency kit is a collection of items — prescriptions, family documents, blankets, flashlights, food and water for pets & family members — compiled and ready to go in the event of a quick evacuation.
Consider your family's unique needs when creating your kit. For more information and tips on how to get started, visit www.ready.gov/build-a-kit.
Staying informed on emergencies and events in your community is also one of the first steps in emergency preparedness.
Sign up for SMC Alert during National Preparedness Month to receive emergency notifications in your community: www.smcalert.info. Those who sign up for emergency notifications by Sept. 30, 2017, will have a chance to win daily and weekly giveaways like a power bank cell phone charger.
