Keep your family prepared in 2020 with this Emergency Checklist from our partners at the American Red Cross.

-Have a gallon of water, per person, per day on hand.

-Supply non-parishable packaged, or canned food, and include a manual can opener.

-Include blankets or sleeping bags. If your power goes out, it could get cold.

-Include first aid kits and prescription medications.

-Include a battery powered or crank radio, flashlight, and plenty of extra batteries. If piecing a kit together from last year, make sure your batteries are not corroded or expired.

-Credit cards, cash, and car keys are important items to keep close by. Also fill up all vehicles with gas ahead of time.

-List of family physicians and their contact information.

-Special items for infants, the elderly, and disabled family members.
