Do You Have a Spring Weather Kit?

Spring can bring unpredictable weather, such as tornadoes, thunderstorms, or floods. To help prepare for the surprises such weather can bring, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the following essential emergency supplies: a flashlight, weather radio, batteries, and an emergency evacuation plan for your family; contact information for your family and neighbors, insurance information, and medical information; a first aid kit, including bandages and antibiotic ointment; a supply of non-perishable food and bottled water to last up to five days; sleeping bags, blankets, and personal hygiene items; and an emergency kit for your car.
