Critical Home Hardening

Preparedness FAQ
What is the 'Meeting Point' rule?
You should have two meeting points: one right outside your home for immediate emergencies (like fire), and one outside your neighborhood in case you can't return home.
How often should I update my Go-Bag?
Every 6 months. Check for expired food, leaking batteries, and ensure clothing is appropriate for the upcoming season.
Do I need physical copies of my documents?
Yes. In a major disaster, power and cell service may be down. Keep physical copies of insurance policies, IDs, and deeds in a waterproof container.
