Residents should have their emergency kit stocked with canned and other non-perishable foods, water, first aid kit, battery-operated radio, flashlight, medication, personal hygiene items, clothing, blanket and other needed supplies. 

Consideration must also be given to having personal items for vulnerable family members like children, the elderly and people with special needs.

Residents are further advised to ensure their home is safeguarded against any wind or rain, to know the location of their nearest shelter and to be reminded that when moving to a shelter, individuals must have their own food, water and other necessities.
