Preparing for Sandy

The east coast of the United States is bracing itself for inclement weather
beginning this weekend. The State of Virginia has already declared a state
of emergency. We ask that you prepare yourselves in the event the
predictions come true. To that end, here are some pointers to safe your
premises and protect your family.

3) Make sure your cell phones are fully charged

4) Keep an ample supply of water and dried foods on hand (3-5 days'
worth). Fill up the bathtub with water as well

5) Keep flashlights handy and make sure you have extra batteries

6) Prepare a list of phone numbers for your local utility companies

7) Secure all exterior furniture, BBQ grills and potted plants

8) Make sure your vehicles are full of gas

9) Keep your bags packed in the event of an emergency evacuation and
remember to carry your ID with you

10) And finally, keep your medications readily available and be sure to
fulfill prescriptions ahead of the storm



We ask that you take these simple steps to safe your family and belongings.
