Should you have to leave your home on a moments notice for whatever natural disaster may occur in your area, are you prepared?  Following are a few tips and a list of some of the suggested items you should have ready to go:

• Water and food – at least 2 bottles of water per family member.  Snack bars.
• Waterproof map – Don’t expect to have internet or phone service should you get lost and you’ll need to conserve on your cell battery.
