More on emergency preparedness

Preparedness involves more than keeping extra food. Plan for extended power outages, safe water, safe cooking, infant feeding, sanitation, and decisions about discarding contaminated food.

Review emergency plans periodically and update supplies as household needs change. Use official sources for hazard-specific guidance before and after a disaster.
