Preparing your home for an emergency

So many emergencies can happen in and around your home. Being prepared to respond at a moment’s notice may be called for, and your survival may depend on your plans and arrangements. At Neff & Associates Insurance Services Inc. in Pismo Beach, CA, we have years of experience providing quality insurance products and personalized service. As independent insurance agents, we can give our customers more choices and the best value. 

Supplies

Basic emergency supplies are something that every home should have, including several days’ supply of water. This includes water for drinking and washing up, and flushing the toilet if there is any problem with your water supply due to an emergency. Having a generator is always a great addition to a home emergency kit. If not, at least have some kind of charging device and ensure you don’t lose touch with the world. LED lights that are solar-powered can help to make sure you are not sitting in a dark home. 

Your important papers

Your important papers should all be together in one place so that if you need to evacuate, you can grab them and place them in the car to take away with you. They should be in a fire and water-resistant container to protect them. Don’t forget your home insurance policy. 

Have an escape route planned

If you need to evacuate, you don’t want to make a plan when you are rushed, and the adrenalin is pumping. Have a main evacuation route planned and at least one alternative if the preferred choice isn’t available. Make sure the entire family knows the plan and where to meet.
