Natural disasters can strike at any time, without warning and it’s important to be prepared. With just a little forethought and planning, you can help to ensure your safety and that of your loved ones (including your furry family members).

Here are 8 tips for being prepared for any natural disaster:

1. Know your risks. The first step to being prepared is to know what natural disasters are most likely to occur in your area. Once you know your risks, you can start to develop a plan.
2. Create an emergency plan. Your emergency plan should include a list of contact information for family members and friends, as well as a plan for where you will go and meet if you are forced to evacuate. You should also have a plan for how you will get to your evacuation meeting point and communicate with each other during a disaster.
3. Assemble an emergency kit. Your emergency kit should include food, water, first aid supplies, extra medications you may be taking at the time and other essential items that you will need in the event of a disaster. You should also have a way to keep your kit safe and secure. Keep a supply of cash on hand in case the power goes out and you cannot use your credit or debit cards.
4. Have clean drinking water for you, your family, and your pets. Water supplies can be contaminated by flooding, sewage, or other debris. Contaminated water can cause a variety of health problems, including diarrhea, vomiting, and even death. You should also have a way to purify water. Our products like the Sagan Life® AquaBrick® Water Filtration System, AquaPod, AquaDrum and the XStream Straw Water Purifier can be lifesavers. All these products can provide you with a means to get clean, safe, pure drinking water during an emergency. You should have enough water for cooking, bathing, and cleaning.
5. Stay informed. It’s important to stay informed about the latest weather forecasts and warnings. You can do this by listening to the radio, watching the news, or signing up for emergency alerts. Make sure you have a way to communicate with your family and friends during a disaster. This could include a cell phone, a radio, or a ham radio.
6. Have a plan for your pets. If you have pets, you need to have a plan for what you will do with them in the event of a disaster. Have a safe place for them to stay or a carrier for transport, as well as sufficient food, water, plus any medications they may be taking. Contact your veterinarian and inquire where they can be reached should your pet require medical attention during an emergency period.
7. Practice your plan. Once you have developed an emergency plan, it’s important to practice it so that you know what to do in the event of a disaster. This will help to ensure that you and your family are prepared for anything.
8. Be flexible. Things don’t always go according to plan, so it’s important to be flexible in the event of a disaster. Be prepared to change your plans if necessary.
