If you are asked to evacuate your home, you probably won't have time to pack everything you will need. Make a list now and prepare a "Get-away Kit" that you can take with you on a moment's notice. Gather only what you and your family will need for a possible stay of three days. Here are some items you should consider:
- Extra clothing, outer-wear.
- Personal hygiene items.
- Extra sets of keys.
- Medical supplies such as eyeglasses, dentures, prescription drugs, and a first aid kit.
