There’s no time like the present to make sure that your home is prepared for a potential emergency. We’re talking about earthquakes, hurricanes, or pandemics, emergencies that happen and can drastically change our day-to-day. Taking a few steps to make sure that you’re ready for a potential emergency is paramount to keeping you and your family safe. The Red Cross website does a great job of breaking down how to prepare for specific emergencies. It’s an amazing resource to help you understand what to pack and what to leave behind

We’ve broken things down into categories so you can use this like a checklist as you stock up on emergency preparedness.
