MYTH:
“I’m already prepared. I already have an emergency plan, supplies, contacts, and insurance, so I’m good to go.”
REALITY:
Preparedness isn’t a one-and-done task. Life changes, information changes, and supplies expire.

Remember to:
🔹 Review your emergency plan
🔹 Check and refresh your supplies
🔹 Update emergency contacts
🔹 Review your insurance coverage
🔹 Make sure important documents are current

Prepared once doesn’t mean prepared forever. Take a few minutes to review your plans today, you may find something that needs updating.

💙 Preparedness is a habit, not a checklist.

Safer. Stronger. More Prepared.

💵 Take Action : Prepare Your Finances

When a storm is approaching, access to money may not always be easy. Power outages, internet disruptions, or closed businesses can make it difficult to use ATMs or electronic payment methods.

🌪️ Take action today by preparing for financial disruptions.
Consider keeping a small amount of emergency cash in a secure, accessible place as part of your hurricane preparedness plan.

You can also:
✅ Review your emergency budget
✅ Save important financial documents securely
✅ Keep copies of insurance information and identification
✅ Know how you will access money if power or internet services are unavailable

💡 Preparedness tip: Store emergency cash securely and only keep an amount that makes sense for your household's needs.

A little financial preparation now can help reduce stress when you need it most.
