September is National Preparedness Month, so make a plan for if you need to evacuate your home or get trapped inside for days.
Disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and earthquakes can strike with little or no warning. Roads may become impassable, power could be out for days, and emergency services might be overwhelmed. In these situations, having a plan can make all the difference between chaos and calm. Preparedness isn’t just about stocking up on supplies; it’s about knowing what to do, where to go and how to stay safe.
