Impacts could potentially cause power outages, downed trees and other debris, limited damage to buildings, flash flooding and localized storm surge.

Residents are urged to prepare now for potential impacts, including power outages. Build an emergency kit with water, non-perishable food, drinking water, at least 3-5 days’ worth of medication, batteries, a first-aid kit and flashlights. Include items in your emergency kit that can help protect you and others from COVID-19, such as hand, bar or liquid soap, disinfectant wipes and two cloth face coverings for each person. Fill a bathtub or large container with water for sanitary purposes such as for flushing toilets and cleaning; this is important for those whose water runs on an electrical system.

Pet owners should secure fences and gates to prevent pets from escaping. Monitor animals closely while they are outside to prevent injury from debris. Prepare your emergency kit for your pets, including pet food, medication, a photo of the pet(s) and copies of vaccination records.
