Whether it's a little bit of rain or a monstrous hurricane, you should always be prepared for a storm.

Here are three major tips to prepare for a storm! 

Tip #1: Know your evacuation routes

Knowing your city or towns evacuation route allows you to know which route is the fastest and safest to evacuate 

Tip #2: Set Up A Safety Room

Incase you couldn't evacuate in time, having a safety room is a smart idea. Your safety room should consist of canned/ non perishable food (at least for a week), clean water, flashlights, blankets, towels, etc. 

Tip #3: Have A Safety Kit

Your safety kit should consist of similar stuff that should be in your safety room. There should be at least one safety kit per person in the household. They should include supplies such as:

1. Battery-powered radio with extra batteries
2. Flashlight
3. Duct tape
4. Wrench or pliers
5. Sufficent amount of food (at least 3-4 days)
6. An extra pair of clothes
