Texas gets walloped by hail, tornadoes, hurricanes—even freezing blizzards.
Before disaster looms, put together an emergency go kit so you and your family can scoot in a hurry.
Some emergency kit tips:
- Set aside three gallons of water per person, enough to last three days.
- Also pack non-perishable food, a can opener, utensils, battery-powered radio, flashlight, and extra batteries. Remember to have chargers for your gizmos and cell phone too.
- Put water and food supplies in your car, just in case.
An expert talks about how to build your kit in this Texas Insurance Podcast.
