BE PREPARED: Tips for staying safe in storm

SOME BASIC STORM READINESS TIPS FROM THE RED CROSS:

*Have batteries, a flashlight and a portable radio.

*Have nonperishable food that does not need cooking — canned tuna, peanut butter, canned beans and other foods that provide protein and energy. Be sure to have a non-electric can opener handy as well.

*Bottled water — one gallon per person per day — for drinking and hygiene needs.

*A sufficient supply of medications.

*A first-aid kit to treat minor injuries.

*Sufficient food, water and medication for pets.

*Perform a hazard check around your home and yard. Put away lawn furniture and other items that might blow around and cause damage.
