ABC News quotes Susan Clark in an article about emergency preparedness essentials for the upcoming storm season. Clark emphasized the importance of staying up-to-date with events likely to occur in your area, like having a plan to seek shelter ready if you live in tornado alley or keeping supplies like generators or hand-crank radios on hand for a power outage if you’re located in a winter storm-prone area. “The typical advice,” Clark said, “is to keep three days’ worth of food, water and medication — whatever that means for your household and dependent upon your specific needs.”
