Take advantage of the outdoors by stocking up on supplies and preparing for extreme weather conditions.

Also, be sure to build up an emergency fund in case of an unexpected emergency.
Be prepared for extreme weather events such as tornadoes, blizzards, and heat waves. Make sure to have an emergency plan, supplies, and know how to react in these types of situations. Stay up to date with the local news and weather forecasts and be sure to have an alternate way to charge your phone and other devices in case of power outages.
Make sure to have supplies in your home to last at least a few weeks in case of severe weather or unexpected events. Include items such as non-perishable food, water, flashlights, batteries, and medications. Additionally, having an emergency plan in place will help you stay prepared and safe should a disaster strike.
Be sure to keep an emergency kit in your car in case of severe weather. Include items such as blankets, flashlights, drinking water, a first aid kit, and nonperishable snacks. It’s also a good idea to research the types of severe weather that can occur in the area, so that you can be prepared.
Be sure to store plenty of food and supplies in case of extreme weather conditions. Make sure you have a plan for both safety and comfort during storms or power outages or other extreme weather conditions.
