* Pack essential item such as government-issued ID, medications, eyeglasses, valuable papers, immediate care needs for dependents and, if time permits, keepsakes
* Prepare to move disabled persons, children and/or neighbours, if assistance is needed
* Prepare to take pets with you and move livestock to a safe area (if possible)
