Emergency Preparedness: Tips to Stay Ready During Disasters

In light of the devastating fires in California, our hearts go out to everyone affected by this tragedy. During these challenging times, safety and preparedness are more important than ever. At The Peña Team, we want to share some essential emergency preparedness tips to help you protect what matters most. Having a plan in place can bring peace of mind and ensure you’re ready for the unexpected.



What to Grab in an Emergency


When time is of the essence, having a pre-planned list of essentials can make all the difference. Here are key items to prioritize:


  1. Important Documents

    Gather identification, insurance papers, medical records, and property deeds. Store them in a waterproof, fire-resistant bag for protection.


  1. Emergency Kit

    Include basic first aid supplies, a flashlight, extra batteries, a multi-tool, and a whistle. These can be lifesavers in any crisis.


  1. Medications and Health Supplies

    Don’t forget prescription medications, over-the-counter remedies, and essential medical devices like inhalers or insulin.


  2. Cash and Credit Cards

    Access to funds is crucial. ATMs may be down, and credit cards might not work during power outages, so small denominations of cash are particularly useful.


  1. Clothing and Essentials

    Pack a change of clothes for each family member, sturdy shoes, and weather-appropriate gear. Include blankets or sleeping bags for warmth.


  1. Water and Non-Perishable Food

    Bring enough water for at least three days (one gallon per person per day) and easy-to-carry non-perishable food like granola bars or canned goods.
