With another week of storms on the horizon here are 4 strategic steps to help you stay safe and informed:

1️⃣ Know the risks
Knowing what to expect helps you plan smarter — like prepping supplies
Check out Henry Ace Hardware

2️⃣ Know where to go
Most cities have designated shelters for emergencies. Find them in advance via local websites or city contacts. Don’t wait until the storm hits to figure it out.
Henry Fire Protection District is a storm shelter

3️⃣ Stay connected
Power outages happen. Make sure you have a backup phone charger and a way to reach loved ones and local officials. Staying informed is key to staying safe.

4️⃣ Build your emergency kit before you need it.
Stock up on essentials: food, water, batteries, clothes, and meds for at least 3 days. Don’t forget pets, kids, and elderly family members. Tailor your kit to your household’s needs.

✅ Bonus Tip: Take a quick video inventory of your home. It’s a fast, effective way to simplify insurance claims if disaster strikes.

As always call us if you need anything!
