It is important to prepare before a storm or disaster occurs.  Consider the following steps to better prepare for an emergency situation:

• Sign up for local alerts and warnings, download apps, and/or check access for wireless emergency alerts.
• Develop and test emergency communication plans with your family.
• Assemble or update your emergency supplies.
• Learn about local hazards in our Pearland city, and conduct drills to practice emergency response actions.
• Participate in a preparedness discussion, training, or class.
• Collect and safeguard critical documents.
• Plan with neighbors to help each other and share resources.
• Document property and obtain appropriate insurance for relevant hazards.
• Make property improvements to reduce potential injury and property damage.

Emergencies and storms can happen anytime to anyone.  Taking action now helps to protect not only yourself, but also your property.
