Now is the time to prepare people and pets for emergencies.

Court House - Now is the time to prepare people and pets for emergencies. Local government and FEMA websites contain lists of items you will need in a first aid kit or to sustain yourself. Water is critical. Extra food is a good thing. Have a place where you can evacuate comfortably. Keep supplies near your go bags. Keep your car tank near full. Remember your senior or challenged neighbors, friends and pets. Do not wait until the last moment for everyone's safety and comfort.
