What to do
Follow local water restrictions and check utility guidance. Repair leaks, prioritize drinking and sanitation, and keep an emergency supply of potable water. Check local fire restrictions as conditions worsen.
Before the next alert
Save local emergency management contacts and share your plan with everyone in the household. Check what supplies, accessible transportation, and pet arrangements you would need if you had to leave.
