8 THINGS TO KEEP IN YOUR STORM SHELTER

Severe storms can happen anytime anywhere make sure you're prepared!

1. TAKE BOTTLED WATER AND CRACKERS 

If you DO get stranded in your safe room or basement, you’ll need plenty of water to get you through. The human body can survive much longer without food, but you need to have water handy.

2. PUT A LEASH ON YOUR PET 

Take your pets WITH you to your shelter, and put them on a leash.  In the very least, take the leash (or have an extra) in your safe room.

3. HAVE A FIRST AID KIT 

Just in case, you’ll want to have a first-aid kit handy.

4. FLASHLIGHT

Take a flashlight! Your power may go out.  Have a flash light handy.

5. PHONE CHARGER

Charge your phone prior to a storm watch, you’ll know its coming. If possible, take a phone charger or charged up portable power bank with you to your safe room.  If you’ll be in the safe room for any length of time, it will come in handy.
