How to prepare for an emergency at home

Take these proactive measures to prepare for any weather emergency at home and keep your property and loved ones safe.


How to prepare for an emergency at home

Be prepared for any emergency. Follow these tips to plan ahead and keep your household safe if the unexpected happens.

  1. Tune in to your local news for the latest forecast and updates.
  2. Write out an emergency exit plan. Map out your home and the surrounding area to plan an exit route and safe meeting place just in case you need to leave your house in a hurry.
  3. Review your emergency contact list. Write down the names and numbers of local emergency services, your utilities providers, your relatives, your family doctor, and your insurance broker.
  4. Keep your emergency kit stocked up. Your emergency kit should contain at last three days’ worth of supplies, including cash, a battery-powered radio, non-perishable food, water, a first aid kit, flashlights, and blankets.
  5. Review your home and car insurance policies. Make sure you have the right coverage! Look through your insurance policies at renewal time and double-check that everything is up to date. Reach out to your broker if you need to make a change.

Protect what matters most.
