🌦️ A Few Simple Steps to Prepare Your Home and Family

As we keep an eye on the potential for rainy and windy weather this weekend, now is a great time to review a few basic preparedness measures for your household.

✔️ Charge phones and important devices
✔️ Check flashlights and replace batteries if needed
✔️ Review your family's emergency contact information
✔️ Have enough food, water, and medications on hand for a few days
✔️ Know how to safely use a generator if you have one

Disaster Readiness resources from UT Extension are located here: https://disaster.tennessee.edu/

For local information and updates, follow Dickson County Emergency Management Agency: 📍 https://www.facebook.com/DicksonCountyEMA

Additional family preparedness resources can be found at: 📍 https://www.ready.gov

Also remember that if a power outage results in food loss, some SNAP recipients may qualify for replacement benefits through the Tennessee Department of Human Services.

Taking a few minutes to prepare now can help reduce stress if weather conditions change later in the weekend.
