A well-stocked Supply Kit can keep your family safe during tornadoes, storms or other local emergencies.
Start small, build over time, and make sure your kit matches your family’s needs.

9:13 AM: A band of moderate sleet storms are moving over the same areas, including the Metroplex. Expect road conditions to continue to worsen. It is advised to NOT be on the roads today. If possible, please stay home. It’s messy out there. 🥶🙃 #dfwwx

This #WorldAnimal Day - Don't forget supplies for your furry friend in your emergency kit! Be sure to pack food, water, puppy pads or a litter box for sanitary needs, collar with ID tag, and important veterinary documents. Then include extras, like toys, treats, and bedding.

While many are facing the strain of higher prices, there are some low-cost/no-cost ways to prepare, such as gathering supplies for your emergency kit that you already have at your house. Visit ready.gov/low-and-no-cost for more tips!

Preparing your children for emergencies can be made into memory games, family "planning" events to practice escape routes/safe place, & role playing to practice what to say if they're separated from you & need help/call 9-1-1. Stay safe, #FortWorth

When making your emergency plan, consider:
• How will I receive emergency alerts and warnings?
• What is my shelter plan?
• What is my family/household communication plan?
• What special needs does my family have?
