There often is a lot of hype around impending storms, but each time one looms, it is a good time to take a look at your emergency supplies and make sure you have what you need. If you don’t have water stored for each person in your household, fill up some containers in case a pipe freezes in the night. Check to see where you have extra blankets, and make sure your flashlights have batteries. Think through likely situations, and have a plan.
